Big Library Reads on ADML

During the month of March, LME Library participated in the Alliance Digital Media Library (ADML) ebook Big Library Read for Shakespeare Saved My Life by Laura Bates.  We've participated is several of the Big Library Reads and will continue to participate in the future.  In addition to being a great way to get ebooks into the hands of readers, these Big Library Reads are showing publishers the power of libraries to promote and encourage reading.  The June Big Library Read was extremely popular with over 200,000 check outs, a conversation with the author, and hundreds joining the book discussion board.  More information can be found in the post: Hundreds of thousands participate in the record setting Big Library Read.  Thanks to everyone who participated, and keep reading!
