Public libraries, now more than ever, are burdened with eBook lending and licensing models that punish them for succeeding in getting people to read eBooks. Join us on Thursday, December 12th at 2:00 PM ET to learn how hundreds of libraries across North America are partnering with the Indie Author Project (IAP) to create a new and sustainable eBook lending model on platforms like OverDrive, DPLA Exchange/SimplyE, Axis 360, and cloudLibrary.

This webinar will showcase how IAP’s curated collections of unlimited, simultaneous use indie eBooks are drastically lowering cost per circulation numbers for libraries of all sizes, how 2019 Indie Author of the Year, Ran Walker, decided to make his latest eBook release available exclusively in public libraries, and more about what the future of the Indie Author Project holds.
