Overdrive E-books and E-Audio

Got an e-reader or tablet? Interested in e-audiobooks? All it takes is your library card! You can check them out right from home!

Start at our website (it’ll look something like this):

Here, I’ve moused over the third blue tab, called “Resources”, and it’s showing me a menu that includes a lot of our online resources, including databases  for research and reading and language learning. For e-books and e-audio, what you’re looking for is the option for “Downloadables.”

We have two sets of e-books and e-audio, all available because you’re a library member. The items from EBSCOhost will be good if you’re looking for technical information or research material; popular novels and non-fiction are available through OverDrive. When you select Ebooks from OverDrive, you get taken to our Download Centre:

Where you’ll login with your library card number and password (10 digits of your phone number, without spaces or dashes) to see what’s available, place holds, add items to a wish list for later, or check out. There’s a great digital help section if you’re just getting started, or if you’re having trouble. Once you’re comfortable at the Download Centre, feel free to bookmark the page and skip the first few steps. You can always call us (905-642-7323) or come in if you get stuck on something.
