Throughout the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting in Seattle this weekend, we’ll be hosting theater presentations at Booth 1115. These live sessions will cover topics including new collection development opportunities, marketing and outreach ideas, eBooks in schools, and updates to our Next Generation digital library platform.

If you’re at ALA Midwinter, we invite you to join us for these fun and informative sessions. While you’re at the booth, stop by our demo stations to see how OverDrive helps libraries serve the Next Generation of readers with services like OverDrive Read, completely reimagined library websites, streaming video and audio, APIs that enable libraries to fully integrate digital and print catalogs, and the all-new Content Reserve collection development portal. You can even experience eBooks on the Nintendo Wii U.
