Big Library Read program allows readers to borrow American Sniper without waitlists or holds
Brownsburg Public Library will participate once again 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. BPL 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, starting Thursday, March 17 and concluding on Thursday, March 31 by visiting BPL's ebook catalog. Big Library Read is facilitated by OverDrive, the leading platform for eBooks and audiobooks from the library.
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 audiobook.
