From whatever device you’ll be using to read or listen to online books, follow these steps: If you hit any snags along the way, OverDrive has an excellent help section with tutorials and videos, or, get one-on-one help with your setup and device at the library by scheduling 30 minutes with Lauri (aka ‘Book-a-Librarian’). So if you’ve put off using OverDrive because you were intimidated or thought it would take too much time, jump in. How do you get started? Follow the steps below to complete the one-time setup of your device, and after that, borrowing books is quick and easy.

Better yet, you won’t have to remember to bring books back to the library or incur any fines, because the books are automatically returned when the lending period (two weeks) is up. If the weather is bad, you can skip a trip to the library and still get your reading fix. With OverDrive, you can take your reading with you wherever you go. So if you got a new Kindle, tablet (Fire, iPad, etc.), phone, laptop or PC for the holidays - or if you simply want to expand your reading options in 2019 - OverDrive is your ticket. Did you know you can access more than 12,000 books and audiobooks online with your library card and a service called OverDrive? That’s 12,656 to be exact, with more added every week.
