Presented by: SELF-e & Library Journal Event Date & Time: Tuesday, December 12th, 2017, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PT The advent and distribution of ebooks has reinvented the modern library. With SELF-e and other self-managed self-publishing programs, libraries have become a channel for ebook distribution and discovery while creating a positive and supportive environment for local writers and readers. With geolocation technology, libraries can now get ebooks by local authors (and more) into the hands of their community – inside and outside of the library's walls – with just one click. Authors can use the same link to locally promote their book – available for unlimited, simultaneous reading – seamlessly driving traffic back to the library, creating a true win-win. With self-published ebook programs living alongside emerging options for short story, poetry, YA writing and journalism contests, libraries have never been in a better position to engage their local community.
