No baking class needed, just a library card. Decatur
Public Library is taking part in the Big Library Read program, the world’s
largest global eBook reading club through libraries that connects millions of
readers around the world with the same eBook at the same time. DPL users can
borrow the eBook, Art of the Pie: one of
2016’s best cookbooks from pie-guru Kate McDermott, starting Thursday, March 16
and concluding on Thursday, March 30 by visiting www.camellia.overdrive.com.
Big Library Read is facilitated by
OverDrive, the leading platform for eBooks and audiobooks from the library.
Kate McDermott has taught the time-honored craft of
pie-making to thousands of people. Her pies have been featured in USA
Today, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Real Simple, Oprah.com,
NPR and more. In the Art
of the Pie she shares
her secrets to great crusts, fabulous fillings, and to living a good life. Kate
provides dozens of recipes for all the pie combinations you can dream up with
hints and tricks helpful to even the most experienced pie baker.
“If you are a first time pie maker, the words in the book
are the very same ones I share in the pie making workshops and I hope they will
give you the confidence to dip your hands into the baking bowl,” said author,
Kate McDermott. “A recipe is a starting place, so feel free to experiment with
different seasonings and flavor combinations that please you. I hope you will
enjoy the stories in Art of the Pie as well as the recipes. It was a labor
of love to write it for you.”
Big Library Read is an international reading program that
connects millions of readers around the world simultaneously with an eBook.
Discussions about the cookbook, recipes and more can be found on BigLibraryRead.com. The free program runs
for two weeks and to get started reading, all that is needed is a DPL library
card. Art of the Pie 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 cookbook will
automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and there are no late
fees.
The Big Library Read program is made possible through a
partnership between Decatur Public Library, the CamelliaNet consortium,
OverDrive and Countryman Press, publisher of Art of the Pie. Library
readers voted Art of the Pie as their cookbook choice for Big
Library Read. To borrow the eBook, readers can visit www.camellia.overdrive.com.
