| More than 228 million people used a library card in 2012 (https://www.oclc.org/global-library-statistics.en.html), and each of them has a library worker to thank for that opportunity. Maybe you helped a patron locate a book in the stacks; assisted a student in finding resources for a research paper; hosted a book club discussion; loaded MARC records into your catalog; scanned a library card; selected books for your collection … the list could go on.
In celebration of National Library Workers Day, Team OverDrive extends our sincere recognition and appreciation to library staff across the country for the valuable contributions you make to our communities every day. We are also grateful for the tremendous efforts you've invested in bringing eBooks and digital audiobooks to the forefront. More than 70 million OverDrive digital titles circulated last year, and that feat could not have been reached without your commitment, support, and time. To library workers from Salt Lake City to Dallas to Minneapolis to New York and beyond, we salute and thank you for helping foster literacy—in every format. In honor of your day, we are giving away "eBook Swag Packs" complete with t-shirts, hats, and buttons for library workers to continue helping patrons access eBooks. Tell us in the comments section below why your library loves eBooks and we will choose the top 10 responses and contact the winners by Wednesday, April 24. Enjoy your well-deserved day!
