In case you missed the news, the PennLive Book Club has returned for another go-around. This time we, in conjunction with the Dauphin County Library System, will focusing on the novel "Transatlantic" by Colum McCann.

TRANSATLANTIC.JPGRandom House, 320 pp., $27

So how to get your hands on the book?

Naturally, if you want to own a copy of "Transatlantic," you can purchase it from a variety of sources, including e-reader versions for devices like the Nook and Kindle.

However, if you can't or simply don't want to shell out money for the novel, but want to participate in our discussion, you have other options.

The Dauphin County Library System has multiple copies of the book available in print and audio, as well as free eBook and eAudiobook downloads. For more information on the club and available formats, visit the Library's website.

You can also download a copy of the book using the OverDrive system. OverDrive offers eBooks that are compatible with nearly every device.

To download from OverDrive, you will need:

  • A DCLS Library card
  • If you're downloading to a Kindle Fire, an Amazon account. Kindle Fire users need no additional software or apps
  • If you're downloading to a computer, the OverDrive Media Console
  • If you're downloading to a non-Kindle mobile device, the OverDrive Media Console app (available for Apple and Android devices)
  • If you're downloading PDF or EPUB eBooks, Adobe Digital Editions and an Adobe ID

For more help, visit this page, or contact DCLS staff.

To reserve a copy of "TransAtlantic," you'll need a valid DCLS Library card and PIN number. Don't have a library card? You can apply for one online (or just visit the nearest library).

Remember: We'll be hosting a live discussion of "TransAtlantic with the Friends of the Alexander Family Library in Hummelstown at 6 p.m. on April 1 and we'd love to see you there! You can let us know if you'll be going via Eventbrite or on Facebook.

And don't forget that author Colum McCann will be the guest of honor at 6 p.m. on April 12 at the Sheraton Harrisburg/Hershey, for the Light the Way to Learning Banquet. Tickets for the banquet are $100 and can be purchased here.
