Reading Free Books on your mobile devices or e-readers....

Borrow books from your public Library for free on your phone. 
 
Here's how you can get started with Overdrive:


1. If you haven't applied for a Public Library card, here's how you can do that.
2. Go to this site for step-by-step instructions on how to install and use Overdrive. If you don't have a Kindle or other e-reader, it's easy to install the Kindle app on your mobile device. Just search for and then download the app, and you can send your Overdrive books to that device.
3. Overdrive has a ton of books for you. Among other things, you can place holds on popular titles and create wish lists. (You should see my list--I use it for binging on my favorite book series!)
