UPDATED OVERDRIVE APP

Guess What? Updated version of OverDrive app now available
OverDrive recently launched a new version of its app for Android, iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod touch) and Windows 8 devices.
The updated app eliminates the need to setup Adobe authorization  during installation, which will reduce library support questions and help users who like to sync their downloads across multiple devices.

First-time users are prompted to create an 
OverDrive account. Existing users will see no change when they update to the newest app version.
 
Additional updated features include:
·   Updated OverDrive Help articles and videos.
·   Users under the age of 13 can anonymously authorize the OverDrive app without creating an OverDrive account.
·   The app’s name is simplified with the words Media Console removed.

eBOOKS

eBooks have arrived at the Charleston County Public Library!! Wondering what to do with that Nook, Kindle or iPad that you received as a gift?  Or perhaps you're hoping that someone will give you a reading device.  Whatever your situation and whatever your device, it's time to learn how to download ebooks. 

We have a brochure with step-by-step instructions to help you get started.  There is also a guide on our website.  Click on Downloadable Media, then click on Click here, read getting started.

You will need a computer with Internet access, an email address and an eReader. The library's Internet connection is disabled for downloading ebooks, so library patrons are not able to download inside the library.

Patrons may check out two items at once and be added to the queue for an unavailable eBook.  Items will automatically be returned when the two week lending period expires, or an item may be returned early.

eBooks are listed in the CCPL catalog, but may not be placed on hold or downloaded from the catalog. You may, however, click on the little chain for a link to the Overdrive page.

For additional assistance, please call the Main Library Reference Department (843) 805-6930.
