Big Library Read is Here!

Today is the rollout of the Big Library Read pilot. This pilot program allows millions of patrons from more than 7,500 participating libraries to simultaneously read Michael Malone's critically-acclaimed 'Four Corners of the Sky' in OverDrive Read, Kindle and EPUB formats. Big Library Read enables users from 10 different countries on five different continents to join in one of the largest global reading events ever to occur. From now until June 1st, users will be able to log in to their digital library website and check out this wonderful tale about love, secrets and the mysterious bonds only families can form.   During this campaign, we will post discussion questions on Facebook and Twitter, so be sure to encourage your staff and patrons to follow us and Michael Malone and be a part of the dialogue. In addition, there will be a worldwide conversation using the hashtag #BigLibraryRead, so tweet your thoughts often. Next week, the book's publisher,  Sourcebooks, will host a live Facebook chat with author Michael Malone, enabling readers to have their questions answered in real time. More details will be coming soon.   If you would like to participate in this chat, please send questions during the week to us on Twitter (@OverDriveLibs) and stay tuned for more information. This program is the first of its kind, so head to your library's digital collection to check out the title and join the #BigLibraryRead conversation!   If your library has not yet signed up to participate in Big Library Read, contact your Account Specialist today.  There's still time to join!   Adam Sockel is a Marketing Specialist at OverDrive
