To download e-books, stop by the library and make certain you have an active and updated library card, pick up a brochure detailing downloading procedures, and then browse the collection at https://ohdbks.overdrive.com/ to check-out materials.

You will need to download and install free software to listen and read your digital materials. Instructions on how to do this are available at the library or by visiting https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6103.htm Digital materials can then be transferred to many portable devices, including eReaders such as the nook™, Sony® Reader™, iPods, and MP3 and WMA players. Materials can also be downloaded directly to mobile devices such as Smartphones, Tablets, Blackberry, and Android devices by using OverDrive Media Console Apps! Titles automatically expire at the end of the lending period, so there are no late fees! With hundreds of popular fiction and non-fiction titles to choose from, the new collection is guaranteed to have something for everyone. You can download best-selling novels, well-known classics, fiction, non-fiction, and much more.
