eBook & Audiobook Instructions

Overdrive & Libby
All links take you to the OverDrive website.
With OverDrive or Libby, you can borrow and enjoy free eBooks, audiobooks, and more from your library’s digital collection. All you need to get started is an internet connection, a library card, and these three steps:

Getting started with OverDrive
Use these steps to get started with free ebooks, audiobooks, and more from your library or school:
1. Find your library or school
Find and open your library or school's digital collection using one of the following:

Our new Libby app (recommended for public library users)
Sora (available for most schools)
The original OverDrive app (for all other library or school users)
OverDrive.com

2. Borrow
Borrow a title from your library or school's digital collection. You'll need a valid library card or student ID to complete this step.

3. Enjoy
You can enjoy many titles immediately online, download them for offline use, or send borrowed ebooks to a Kindle device (U.S. libraries and schools only).
If you're on a computer, you may also be able to transfer titles to compatible ereaders or MP3 players. On your Bookshelf, you'll find options for enjoying each borrowed title, like Read (read an eBook in your browser), Play, and Download (available for eBooks, audiobooks, music, and some videos).
