SO close but a wonderful year, nonetheless

As 2015 came to a close, we didn't quite cross the 1 million checkout mark for our OverDrive collection last year but we did end up with a healthy 991,573 checkouts of our eBooks and audiobooks! In addition to the tips we previously shared to promote and provide support for using our collection, we thought a new year was the perfect time for all of us to resolve to increase our usage of this collection, even if that means starting to use it in the first place!

You certainly don't have to discard print titles for digitial titles but maybe once a month you substitute an eBook for a print title or maybe you listen to an audiobook during your commute or while you're working at your desk. Maybe you make a goal to enjoy at least 1 digital title per month or to convince 1 customer per week to start using OverDrive.

There are a number of ways we can grow the circulation of our OverDrive collection as well as personally benefit from firsthand use of the collection. We'd like to hear your ideas on how we all could pitch in to grow the usage of this collection and whether\how you've resolved to use it more frequently. Please share them with all of us in the comments section, congratulations on all of your hard work promoting OverDrive throughout 2015, and happy reading (or listening!) to you in 2016!
