How OverDrive Works
You may check out a maximum of 10 titles at one time with a maximum 21 day loan period; there are no renewals. Titles are automatically returned when they are due so you’ll never accumulate late fees.
You may place holds on titles when all copies are checked out by other patrons. You will receive an email when the selected title becomes available for checkout. Once you receive the email, you will have 3 days to check out the selected title.
Once the file is downloaded to a computer, you will be able to transfer segments of the file, or the entire file, to a supported mobile device, such as an eReader, tablet, or MP3 player. The file can also be burned to a CD when permissions allow. When the title automatically expires and is returned to the library, you can delete the file from your device.
Monthly maintenance is performed every third Thursday of every month from 5:00 am-7:00 am. If you have problems during these times, please try to access the site later in the day.
