You will have to provide your library card number (don’t put in any spaces when entering it) in order to request and check out Overdrive titles. More titles are being added every week, so check back often! If there are no copies available of a title that you want (all copies are checked out), it is a good idea to place a request on it. You will be notified by email when it becomes available for you to check out. Downloadable eBooks are very popular and in high demand!
Check it out! And enjoy your new eReader or listening device!
