OverDrive

OverDrive is a digital resource lending platform developed by OverDrive, Inc. It allows users to borrow and access eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, and videos from their local library or school.

OverDrive works by partnering with libraries and schools to provide a digital platform where users can browse, borrow, and consume a wide range of digital media. Users need to create an account and connect it to their library or school to access the available content.

OverDrive is compatible with various devices, including smartphones, tablets, eReaders, and computers. It supports popular operating systems like iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.

To borrow items from OverDrive, you need to sign in to your account, browse the available catalog, select the desired item, and choose the borrowing option. The borrowed content can then be downloaded or streamed to your device.

The borrowing period for items on OverDrive varies depending on the policies set by your library or school. Typically, loans last for around 7-21 days before automatically being returned.

Renewal policies depend on the specific library or school. Some may allow renewals if there are no holds on the item, while others may have different rules. Check your library's or school's guidelines for more information.

The number of items that can be borrowed at a time varies depending on your library's or school's policies. Generally, there is a limit set, but it can range from 5 to 20 items.

Many libraries and schools allow users to recommend titles for purchase. Check your library's or school's website or contact them directly to inquire about suggesting new acquisitions.

No, there are no late fees for OverDrive items. When the borrowing period ends, the item automatically becomes unusable on your device.

If you encounter technical difficulties while using OverDrive, you should reach out to your library or school's support staff for assistance. They can provide guidance and troubleshoot any problems you may be experiencing.
