DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO BOOKS AND E-BOOKS

The library subscribes to a downloadable audio and e-book service for our patrons. You use your library card number to log into the site. You can check out books for a week or two and download them to your home computer for listening or reading. The book files become unplayable after the loan period expires.

If the book you want is being used by another patron, you can place a hold and be notified when it's your turn to borrow the book.

Audio and e-books might also be transferable to portable devices such as an Ipod or an e-reader, but not all file types are compatabile with all devices. Look here for a list of compatible devices. 

You can access the Overdrive service simply by linking to the site and logging in with our library name and with your library card bar code number.

The service has its own search and access software you can download from the site without charge.

The library also has a number of workstations you can use to download books that are especially useful if you home Internet connection is slow.


OVERDRIVE

The Overdrive audio collection is a cooperative effort of a number of Indiana public libraries called the Indiana Digital Download Center. Participating libraries select the titles purchased. Access to titles in the core collection is shared by the patrons of all of the libraries.

Libraries also have the ability to purchase additional titles for the exclusive use of their patrons. These titles are in a library's Advantage collection. Log in to the Advantage area for titles purchased just for the use of our patrons. New titles will continue to be added every month.

In addition to the Quick Start Guide, you can find a link to a Guided Tour of the service on the Overdrive Home Page.

Overdrive has a collection of additional e-books available to patrons at any time that do not expire. These titles are EPUBS and can be accessed  with software you can download for free - Adobe Digital Editions.
