The Hawaii State Public Library System invites young readers to participate in the Big Library Read program now through Sept. 30.
Young readers will be able to borrow and enjoy eBook and audiobook versions of the Big Library Read book, “Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth” by Jane O’Connor by visiting our website at www.librarieshawaii.org.
Big Library Read is an international program that provides libraries and library patrons unlimited simultaneous access to a popular title for a two-week period, creating a virtual, global book club. Interested patrons will be able borrow Book 1 in the Nancy Clancy series using a valid HSPLS library card, and enjoy on all major computers and devices, including iPhone(r), iPad(r), Nook(r), Android(tm) phones and tablets, and Kindle(r) without worrying about wait lists or holds. Titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period so there are no late fees!
“If you haven’t borrowed an eBook from our collection, now is the perfect time,” said state Librarian Richard Burns. “Our HSPLS eBook collection is extremely popular and well-used, and eBook circulation is growing at a faster rate than any other materials collection. We offer more than 20,000 eBook and eAudiobook titles from the OverDrive/Digital Library Reserve.”
The Big Library Read program is made possible through a partnership between OverDrive, the leading supplier of eBooks and more to libraries, and HarperCollins, publisher of the best-selling Fancy Nancy series of children’s titles.
