The Library invites you to be part of the Big Library Read :  a first-time international library ebook club. This pilot project, sponsored by OverDrive with support from US publisher Sourcebooks Inc, will involve thousands of participants from over 7 500 (and counting!) libraries in 8 countries, as they read the same ebook title.
 
From May 15 to June 1st   members with a valid Dorval Library card can join readers worldwide and access the title The Four Corners of the Sky  by Michael Malone on the Library’s OverDrive ebook site http://dorval.lib.overdrive.com  .  During this period there will be unlimited copies available, so no disappointments, no waiting lists.
 
During the campaign, OverDrive will post discussion questions on Facebook and Twitter. Also, there will be a worldwide conversation using the hashtag #BigLibraryRead, so you can tweet your opinions.
 
 
Don’t be the only one in the world to miss out -- check it out!
 
For more information about the Library’s free ebook service, please call 514 633-4170 or email reference@ville.dorval.qc.ca.
