OverDrive – eBooks ​

Overdrive contains a large collection of electronic and audiobooks for your leisure reading.

Overdrive books can be checked out to your account online by using your student/staff number and your library PIN in OverDrive. On expiry, the book is automatically returned to the digital site to be made available for other patrons – so no fines.

Upon finding the title of interest, download the OverDrive App to your device and start reading/listening to your story. For most eBooks, no app or software need to be installed. Just click “Read” and start reading instantly in your browser using OverDrive Read. Other eBooks require that Adobe Digital Editions be installed and for audiobooks, the OverDrive app is needed.
