Summer Reading Poster
Dear Library Partner,
Summer is right around the corner and what better way to gear up for a vacation or day at the park, than with a downloadable audiobook or eBook! OverDrive has created a summer reading poster to help promote your 24/7 download library.
To download the poster, visit http://overdrive.com/files/SummerReadingPoster.pdf.
Please note: The poster may take a few minutes to download.
To add your library’s OverDrive URL to the poster, type it in the white bar at the bottom of the poster using Adobe Reader, or simply print and write it in.
To help get the word out, display this poster in your library and around your community. You can also make it available at events this summer that your library may be participating in. Please be sure to pass this along to your branch or member libraries.
If you’re interested in other ways to promote your download library, please feel free to call or email me anytime. You can also check out our online marketing kit: http://overdrive.com/products/dlr/partnerservices.marketingkit.asp.
Lisa
By the way -- the Listen Up! Collection owns each of the titles shown on the poster.

Sandisk Sansa Clip on Sale at Woot.com
The way Woot's daily deals work is that they are ONLY good for one day, or as long as supplies last that day. You'll need a credit card, and you will have to create a Woot user name. Woot is actually a fantastic place to go for incredibly amazing deals on technology -- you can follow their daily deals on Twitter or by RSS feed. I've seen things that would be great for your library, such as refurbished iPods and very inexpensive digital picture frames (great for the front desk), and amazing deals on DVD players, TVs, and more.
For more on Woot, see their FAQ.
