Freedom by Franzen - does your library have it?
Neither NYPL nor BPL carry Freedom by Jonathan Franzen in ebook format. I have requested three books for BPL and they have purchased the other two (yay!) but not this one. It is published by FSG. I did a search on Overdrive and it is available:
http://search.overdrive.com/TitleInf...3&FormatID=410 so it puzzles me that my library is not carrying this extremely popular novel. What's up with that? Does your library carry it? Thanks, eP |

Thanks for checking, guys. I forgot to mention that my library has audio as well. I'm telling you, even though that book is in the Overdrive catalog, I think it is not available or something?

Looks like it's only available in the UK in ebook form One of those geographical restrictions I suspect.
This link will allow you to search for a given book and see exactly which libraries carry it. http://search.overdrive.com/classic/ cheers |

Mystery solved! I couldn't figure out how it could be in the Overdrive catalog and yet not available. I didn't even know that Overdrive serves areas outside the US.
And thanks for the link, that is helpful! eP |
