On March 17th, author Shea Serrano will be visiting the Downtown Library [1]. There are typically waitlists on the physical and digital copies of his books, The Rap Year Book and Basketball (and Other Things).  However, starting today, both titles will be available in Overdrive [2] no holds required!

When you visit the Overdrive site [2] or open Libby, you’ll notice the titles prominently featured along with a link to the Serrano facebook event [1]. This makes it easy to promote to customers!

This special bookclub will run from March 7th through March 24th so those who wish to read/listen to his books before the event can and those who are interested after hearing him speak will have a week to read his books before they return to One User/One Copy.

Note: For hoopla [3] fans and for those customers who miss the book club, Serrano’s Basketball (and other Things) is always available in hoopla [3], no holds required -  ebook [4] and eaudio [5].

Are you planning on hosting an author and would like to investigate an Overdrive bookclub option? Contact Collection Development as far in advance of the event as you can. We’d love to bring a frictionless reading experience to your event!
