OverDrive ® / Digital Downloads
Free Ebooks, Audiobooks, Music, and Videos!
Overdrive is an online catalog of free digital media (ebooks, audiobooks, music, video) that you can check out and download to your computer or other devices. All you need is an Library Card to access the collection, plus software to facilitate the downloading process (see below).
| IMPORTANT! Download and install one of the these first! |
|
COMPUTERS / MOBILE DEVICES -- Choose, download, and install the appropriate version of the OverDrive Media Console for your device. |
|
E-READERS -- Install Adobe Digital Editions on the computer you use to transfer ebooks to your e-reader (unless your e-reader is a Kindle). For step-by-step instructions: OverDrive-to-Kindle | OverDrive-to-Nook (and most other e-readers) |
First-time users:
-
Make sure your device is compatible! Visit the OverDrive Device Resource Center.
-
Checkout Limits: A maximum of ten Overdrive items may be checked out for 7 or 14 days at a time. (E-Books have an additional 21-day option.) Items cannot be returned early, except for e-books. Renewals are possible by simply checking out the item again via the same checkout process (unless someone else is waiting for the item).
-
Download Availability: Please note that not all downloads are immediately available; like regular library items, they can only be checked out to a set number of users at one time. However, you may add items to your "Wish List" so they will be saved for you when they become available again.
- Please choose "Wisconsin Valley Library Service" when logging in to OverDrive. (Choosing "Marathon County Public Library" is no longer possible.)
