One of our newest features at the library is the ability to download media from Overdrive through the Kentucky Libraries Unbound Consortium. With a library card, our patrons can download audiobooks, ebooks, and even some music and video, 24 hours a day from the convenience of their own homes. Overdrive provides a quick-start guide to help walk patrons through their first visit to the site, as well as a list of commonly asked questions about the service, and a list of devices patrons can use with the Overdrive files.
Like items in the library, most Overdrive files can only be checked out by one person at a time. (There are always available audiobooks, but the majority of items are only available until they are checked out. But never fear! Patrons can put overdrive files on hold, just like they can on regular library items. They even offer a wish list, in case you don't want to check it out right away, but want to remember it for later.
Your Challenge: Explore the Kentucky Libraries Unbound Overdrive site. You may want to take the guided tour first. Try downloading something. Could you answer simple questions that patrons may have about the new service?
