Borrow Audiobooks, eBooks and More!

Picture
With BRIDGES by OverDrive, you can borrow and enjoy free audiobooks and ebooks from your library! All you need is an internet connection, your library card and these three easy steps:​
  1. Find Your Library - Edward F. Owen Memorial Carter Lake Public Library - and open our library's  digital collection using the Libby app, the OverDrive app, or OverDrive.com for PC and Mac.
  2. Borrow or place a hold on a title using your library card number (P#### / example: P1234 or P0### / example: P0123).
  3. Enjoy many titles immediately online, download them for offline use, or send borrowed eBooks to a kindle device for the duration of your lending period.
ATTENTION: Libby/Bridges now require a 5-digit library card number. If you cannot access your account, simply add enough zeroes to your number so it equals 5 digits. ​(example: If your card is P123, you will now use P0123 to log-in. If your card number is P12, use P0012)
