Exciting news!  To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, OverDrive has announced that the eBook version of this title will be available for unlimited access through the ALS OverDrive digital collection between August 27 and September 10, 2018.  All library patrons and students will be able to borrow the title simultaneously and the standard loan period will apply.   To check out the ALS OverDrive collection, visit https://arrowhead.overdrive.com/.

Pottermore has created a flyer, poster, and two social media graphics to help promote this special event.  ALS will be printing three flyers for each member school library — these will be included in the Back-to-School packets that will be sent via mail to all schools the last week of August. We will also be  printing two posters and five flyers for each public library and will send via delivery shortly If you would like more flyers and posters, please use the Print Shop order form here https://www.alslib.info/for-library-staff/print-shop/ or feel free to print your own if you so choose.
