OverDrive Bringing Harry Potter eBooks To Libraries

Fans of Harry Potter titles are going to be happy to know that those books will be available in public and school libraries through OverDrive. It will handle the distribution of e-books and digital audiobooks in English and over 20 other languages. These titles will be available in over 18000 libraries around the globe.

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter is a once-a-lifetime phenomenon and has been an extremely significant catalyst for reading and literacy for current and future generations.  We are honored to bring this beloved storytelling experience digitally to public and school libraries  worldwide,

explained OverDrive CEO and President Steve Potash. What this means is e-reader owners may get to borrow and purchase Harry Potter e-books on their devices soon. Harry Potter books were supposed to be released a while ago with the launch of Pottermore.  But that was delayed for various reasons. Large publishers have not been too keen on the idea of e-book lending. It is exciting to see OverDrive making more progress in this area though.
