Discover Your New Favorite Fall Picks with OverDrive’s Librarians

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our Fall Picks from OverDrive Librarians webinar! Jane, Sarah, Sydney, and I enjoyed sharing the fun books we are looking forward to and the entertaining Kanopy picks.

During the dog days of Summer, we dove on in to fall picks for the cozy days ahead. The webinar covered our fall picks for all audiences from various publishers. We laughed our way through humor titles, journeyed around action and adventure books, and settled in to feel good reads. Along with the books we are most looking forward to, we had a Kanopy watch to match the mood. Missed the live webinar? Here is a preview:
