Over 500 people come into the Crestview Public Library on an average day. Of course, there’s nothing like being here in person for programs and browsing — and we certainly encourage that!
But more and more residents use e-books and e-audios that accommodate our 24-7 lifestyles.
For the 2013-14 fiscal year, our library was No. 1 within the six-member Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative for number of e-books and e-audios downloaded with the OverDrive mobile app. (The Niceville Public Library, which had the greatest number of downloads by website, was slightly ahead of us in total downloads with 61 more.)
Two quick "getting started" guides can help you begin downloading OverDrive e-books and e-audios onto your tablet, smart phone, computer, e-book reader or MP3 player.
