Read on your favorite devices with Overdrive and Libby


Download eBooks and eAudios for free and read on your favorite devices!  Powered by OverDrive, some of our patrons know this service better as the "Blue Ridge Download Consortium". 

Libby is the "new" way of looking at content from Overdrive - Its the same company, same content (eBooks & eAudiobooks), just a different app that you can download.

*Hint: If you've never used the OverDrive app before, start with Libby, it is very easy to use with straightforward language. 

You can find content by either using the Overdrive link provided on our website by logging in with your library card, or visit our website and use our online catalog!

** When using our online catalog, you may see downloadable links for other eBook services (i.e. Freading) which are NOT a part of the OverDrive collection.
