That’s a wrap!
Thank you for checking out our #ReadAtlantic collection of local, accessible eBooks and audiobooks there were available with no waitlists or holds for a limited time at public libraries across Atlantic Canada. The eBooks in the collection included a range of features that make them more accessible for library users with print disabilities. This campaign is now over but you can still find great #ReadAtlantic titles at your local library anytime! This promotion helped reach record-breaking circulations of local, accessible ebooks and audiobooks. We hope you continue to enjoy exploring local ebooks from Atlantic Canada at Atlantic Canadian public libraries on Overdrive/Libby and pretnumerique.ca for french readers in New Brunswick.
