No holds. No waiting. Everyone can read it at the same time. It's a dream come true, isn't it?
Libraries Transform has partnered with OverDrive to create a new digital book club for all U.S. libraries that work with OverDrive. It's first #LTBookPick is Kassandra Montag's After the Flood.
The digital book club runs until October 21st. Readers can chime in on social media using the #LTBookPick hashtag. After October 21st, the e-book goes back to checking out one copy at a time.
Why are they doing this? The digital book club was formed in response to publishers making digital book buying even harder for libraries. With the #LTBookPick, library patrons have a fantastic book that is guaranteed to be available from October 7 through the 21st.
Don't know what to read next? Immerse yourself in After the Flood!
