How to borrow eBooks using Libby

New to borrowing eBooks from the library? One of the main ways we lend out eBooks to our patrons is by using a digital service called Overdrive. All you need is a library card and an internet connection. The app version of Overdrive (for phones, iPads and other devices) is called Libby. This video will give you an introduction to borrowing eBooks from Overdrive using the Libby app. The video also provides a great tour of the app, along with some tips and tricks.
