Denver, CO, August 30, 2017 – ODILO, an innovative global leader in the eBook industry, is celebrating the back-to-school season with a collection from their newest publisher, Sesame Workshop.
ODILO’s easy-to-use eBook platform, quality content, and flexible lending models (One-Copy/One-User, Pay-per-Use, Simultaneous, and Subscription) help schools and libraries better serve their students, educators, and families. With a strong international presence, ODILO’s marketplace offers over one million titles in multiple languages from more than 3,500 publishers; subjects range from popular fiction and nonfiction to educational titles.
“Our library customers are excited to see Sesame Workshop titles available in our marketplace,” said Nadine Billard, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships. “This is an important partnership to ODILO, as it helps us improve our entertaining and educational offerings for young children and extend our readership around the world.”
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, joins ODILO’s other preschool brands such as Disney Audio and Scholastic with a collection of beloved Sesame Street and Pinky Dinky Doo titles. Preschoolers will laugh and learn along with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, and all their Sesame friends as they delve into ABCs, 123s, potty training, and much more. The collection includes classic titles such as The Monster at the End of This Book and Elmo Loves You alongside eBooks that celebrate holidays, milestones, and the love of reading.
“We are proud to partner with ODILO to bring our beloved characters to the littlest library patrons,” said Karen Halpenny, Sesame Workshop’s Editorial Director, North America Media Products. “Sesame Workshop has a deep love for libraries and librarians, and ODILO’s flexible lending models are a great match for our mission to help even the most difficult-to-reach kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.”
