Overdrive has sent a letter to librarians worldwide inviting them to join a pilot program called “Big Library Read” running from May 15th through June 1st. This unique program allows all participating libraries to feature the Sourcebook title “Four Corners of the Sky” by Michael Malone simultaneously on all of their respective OverDrive homepages at no cost. The book will be accessible to patrons of these libraries simultaneously.
From LibraryJournal:
“We want to demonstrate once and for all the enormous influence of the library demographic, and that when libraries put an ebook in their catalog it serves a valuable role in increasing exposure and engagement with an author’s work,” said Steve Potash, OverDrive’s CEO.
Data will be collected and track during the program period, and Sourcebooks will track the impact on sales of this book as well as the other seven titles by Malone published through Sourcebooks.
