| The popularity of your digital library is growing, and with that excitement comes the challenge of keeping up with demand. How do you make sure you have enough copies of the popular titles while stretching your budget to buy all the newest releases? One way is to find new sources of funding, which can include donations from local businesses, organizations, and community members. OverDrive can then help you recognize donors for their contribution on your digital library website in the form of a collection name, digital title plate, or a website ad that rotates throughout the site. Many libraries are already tapping into this idea. Wake County Public Libraries has a sponsored collection donated by their generous members, which they recognize here and on the title detail page of each book. The Municipal Library Consortium of St. Louis County recognized the donor of each title on the detail page as shown here. Collection name example:  You can have collections separated by the donated party, or gathered together in a single collection. Digital title plate example:

If you're looking for new ways to help grow your digital collection and meet patron demand, sponsorships are a great way to generate new sources of funding and involve your community. Contact your Account Specialist with any questions, or to get started! |
