What is OverDrive?
OverDrive is a platform to find, borrow, and enjoy e-books, audiobooks, magazines, and videos.

How do I sign up?

How do I "borrow" items? 
Once you have successfully logged in, you can search for items you want.  You can borrow items labeled "AVAILABLE" or place a hold on items labeled "WAIT LIST."  Click the "Borrow" link, select the loan period for 7 or 14 days, then click "Borrow." T he item is now in your "Loans," and you can access it the app or on your computer.

Can I download / borrow as many items as I want?
You may borrow up to 8 items at a time. 

How long can I keep items and how are they returned?
You may select your loan period for 7 or 14 days. The default setting is 7 days.  
Returns are managed automatically by the OverDrive website and/or mobile app.  You do not need to return items manually, unless you can choose to return an item early.
