OverDrive-EveryLibrary’s 5K Your Way For Libraries Event Supporter

We are grateful for the generous support that OverDrive is giving us as we embark on our journey to host the first-ever 5K Your Way For Libraries!

The library is more than just a place that holds books, and this is more than just another 5K. You get to decide what your 5K looks like and participate anywhere in the world! Join OverDrive, EveryLibrary, and library supporters around the country from September 26th to October 2nd, 2021, as we raise $50,000.

EveryLibrary’s 5K Your Way For Libraries unites all communities, companies, and individuals across the country as we continue the library-saving work we've been doing for the last 9 years. Involvement in the 5K Your Way For Libraries fundraising event provides your employees, customers, and communities the opportunity to help EveryLibrary save libraries in crisis throughout the country.

OverDrive strives to create “a world enlightened by reading.” Serving a growing network of 73,000 libraries and schools in 88 countries, OverDrive delivers the industry’s largest digital catalog of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, and other content through award-winning apps. The Libby reading app for libraries is one of Popular Mechanics’ 20 Best Apps of the Decade, while the student reading app Sora is one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2019.

We are happy to have OverDrive on our team!

You will also support a “Matching Challenge” to encourage more individual donations from Event team participants. This challenge will be given over a specific period and marketed to all 5K Your Way For Libraries participants and in all event promotions. This challenge will not only provide direct sponsor recognition but will encourage people to be a part of this event and helpfully raise more money for EveryLibrary.

This is a great way to rally your workplace to come together and help support EveryLibrary’s work as we continue to save libraries. This will give you the opportunity to show your employees that you care about the future of libraries and together you are helping to keep libraries around for future generations.
