OverDrive reports record international growth at the Frankfurt Book Fair

This week members from Team OverDrive, including CEO Steve Potash, are at the Frankfurt Book Fair, offering exciting new data about the company's international growth.  By adding thousands of non-English in-copyright titles, OverDrive's catalog has surpassed 1.8 million digital offerings. We’ve also added more than 100 publishers from 18 nations, including Hardie Grant Publishing (Australia), Xinjiang Juvenile Publishing House (China), Scottish Book Source Limited (U.K.), TED Books (U.S.), and Penguin eBooks from the newly-formed Penguin Random House.

 

New school and public library partners have joined the OverDrive network including the Singapore American School, Cairo American College, Hong Kong International School, Qatar National Library, and National Library and Information System Authority (Trinidad and Tobago). These new libraries and schools are a part of the 27,000 OverDrive partners in 36 countries around the world.

 

At the Frankfurt Book Fair, we'll be demonstrating many of our latest innovations including our multi-language user interfaces as well as providing information on our streaming video services, which will be introduced later this year. You can follow the conference by using the hashtag #fbm13.
