How to Borrow an eBook using the new OverDrive app

Posted by Denise O'Shea on February 23, 2011

You can do this in a few simple steps, once you have downloaded and installed the new OverDrive Media Console app:

• Search for a library using ZIP Code.

• Browse titles to find an available book.

• Enter library-card number and download book.

• Book expires after seven, 14 or 21 days, depending on the library.

Warning — the most popular books in your library may be checked out and have a waiting list. The Overdrive app currently does not make it possible for you to only view books that are available. That feature is coming in a later release.
