We are excited to take part in the Big Library Read
program, the world’s largest global eBook reading club through
libraries and schools that connects millions of readers around the world with
the same eBook at the same time. DPL users will be able to borrow the eBook and
audiobook American Sniper:
The New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal
Chris Kyle now through Thursday, March 31 by clicking here. Big Library Read
is facilitated by OverDrive, the company that provides our eBooks and
eAudioBooks.
American
Sniper was
the source for the blockbuster movie which was nominated for six Academy
awards, including best picture. U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle recorded the most
career sniper kills in United States military
history. Kyle, who was killed tragically in 2013, writes honestly about the
pain of war – including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates – and in moving
first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the
strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris.
Big Library Read is an international
reading program that connects millions of readers around the world
simultaneously with an eBook and eAudioBook. The free program runs for two
weeks and to get started reading, all that is needed is a DPL library card. American Sniper
can be read on all major computers and devices, including iPhone®, iPad®,
Android™ phones and tablets, Chromebook™ and Kindle® without worrying about
wait lists or holds. The eBook will automatically expire at the end of the
lending period, and there are no late fees.
For those participating in the Adult Reading Challenge
Authorian Quest, this title will work for several quests: an author who is or has been a
soldier/veteran; an author whose book has been made into a movie or a TV
series; an author published in Non-fiction; and an author who
started or supports a charity/foundation.
