Coming soon: Big Library Read
Have you heard of the Big Library Read program? Several times a year, Overdrive (the library eBook app) makes a title available to every patron at every library system in the world, with no holds and no waiting. You can read the book, and then discuss it with other readers from around the world on their website, biglibraryread.com.
The next Big Library read starts in just a couple of weeks, on Thursday, October 13 – so you might want to clear some space in your reading calendar. The title they've announced is This Is Where It Ends, by Marieke Nijkamp:
"Told from four perspectives over the course of 54 harrowing minutes, the students of a fictional high school… struggle to both survive and understand why one boy started shooting at 10:00 am. This is Where it Ends is a #1 New York Times bestseller, a Publishers Weekly Bestseller, a Barnes and Noble Top Pick and an ABC Best Book for young readers."
In addition to providing a discussion board, Overdrive will also host a podcast episode with the author, where she will talk about writing This is Where it Ends, violence in schools, and the importance of diversity in literature .
