In April, four of my libraries were in the Top 20. Now only two are. It's great to see more libraries increasing their collections.

It's amazing how e-book holdings have grown - 18 months ago, Indy had ~6,000 books and it only took 4500 books to break into the top 10. Still, the library has 2.1 million items in its catalog, so there's still a long way to go; ignoring PD books and self-published books, it seems like libraries should have at least several hundred thousand e-books before dropping back to maintenance mode, where they are focusing on new books and not backlog. |

Top 20 eBook Libraries -- updated 19 Sep 2015
While researching a similar list for Top 20 Audiobook Libraries, I updated the stats for OverDrive eBook collections. The cutoff for this list are libraries with at least 60,000 ebooks. Public Libraries -- Jan 13 -- Apr 13 -- Jan 14 -- Apr 14 -- Jul 14 -- Sep 15
Disclaimer: this is not a comprehensive list as there may be other libraries that belong here. . Last edited by tubemonkey; 05-27-2016 at 06:30 AM. |

Nashville Public Library (Davidson County, TN) - 19,733
(TN READS is the system that serves everyone not in a metro area, so places like Nashville, Knox County and a couple other major cities can only access their county library.) |

For READS I'm seeing 23,231 titles when you do advanced search.
Thanks for updating. It was becoming too much for me to keep track with the various webpages. Most stopped the "all ebooks" link. Plus, the 3M and AXIS 360 selections. |

Thanks; I knew they had a higher number, but never thought about checking for it with the advanced search feature.

Mine is Ann Arbor, MI:
Fiction ebooks = 6,985 Nonfiction ebooks = 1,031 Audiobook fiction = 3,435 Audiobook nonfiction = 908 Total: 12,359 I don't know how to make it display all books without lumping them into one of those categories, so I'm assuming there's no overlap. But this doesn't take into account that some books are available as ebooks AND audiobooks, so that may bring the total number of distinct books way down. |
