Ebooks, e-readers, what does it all mean? With the rise of digital media, books are no longer limited to paper. Many are available free online, but they are usually older, out-of-copyright titles. Did you know you can check out ebooks at the library? Visit Overdrive to download ebooks for reading on a personal computer, e-reader, or even a smart phone.
Once you have the ebook downloaded, follow the instructions to add it to your device.
