CHECK IT OUT: Enjoy popular audio and eBooks from the comfort of home

Check out best-selling and classic eBooks and audiobooks available 24/7 from the library’s digital collection at http://okaloosa.lib.overdrive.com.

With hundreds of popular fiction and non-fiction titles to choose from, this collection is guaranteed to have something for everyone. You can enjoy best-selling novels, well-known classics, self-improvement guides, and much more all on your own time, wherever you may be.

You can browse the collection, borrow with your library card, and enjoy on your computer, tablet, smartphone or eReader device.

Borrowed eBooks can be enjoyed immediately in your web browser with OverDrive Read. Or, you can download eBooks into free software, Adobe Digital Editions, or send to your Kindle device or app. Downloaded eBooks can be transferred to eReader devices such as NOOK Sony Reader and many more.

Audiobooks can be downloaded into OverDrive Media Console (just MP3 audiobooks for Mac users). Once downloaded, titles can be enjoyed immediately or transferred to a variety of devices, including iPod and many others.

Users with smartphones or tablets can install the OverDrive Media Console app to directly download EPUB eBooks and MP3 audiobooks titles to their device. No matter how you plan to enjoy, titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period. There are no late fees!

This service, powered by OverDrive, is free with your library card. To get started enjoying eBooks and audiobooks, visit the Overdrive webpage or go to the library's website and click on the “Search OCPLC eBooks” link.
