It’s finally that time of year! Sweet Summer Time. While the summer is best served hot and under the sun, we at OverDrive like ours with a little reading on the side. Here are a few tips to keep your students reading all summer long:

  • Engage your readers with new, always available content: OverDrive is proud to partner with the SYNC program, which offers two free Young Adult audiobooks each week that users get to keep. Additionally, get ready for OverDrive’s exciting new initiative for students, OverDrive Summer Read. Stay tuned for more details.
  • Promote your Digital Library: We have ready to download marketing resources in the Partner Portal, including fresh new web graphics! Add these to your school or library websites to promote traffic to your digital library all summer long.
  • Update your school’s information: Be sure to update and verify your school’s information to display in the OverDrive app and at com to connect readers with your website and social media accounts. In OverDrive Marketplace, select your school name in the upper-right corner, then select school information to get started.​

Boredom is not an option when there is reading to be done!
