Have you been waiting to have free access to thousands of EBooks and audio books from many of your favorite authors? Now you can at the Arapahoe Public Library! We have become one of 134 libraries here in Nebraska, who with support from the Nebraska Library Commission, have partnered with Nebraska Overdrive. \u00a0This is an online site where patrons can download a wide array of EBooks or audio books to their home computer, E-reader or mobile device. This is a free service to any patron of our library. You have the option of checking out up to four items for 7, 14 or 21 days. Users may return EBooks early. At the end of the lending period, titles automatically expire and are returned to the collection. This means that you\u2019ll never have to worry about late fees when using this service. Nebraska Overdrive can be accessed anywhere or anytime as long as you have internet access.<\/p>\n
To check out EBooks or audiobooks, users need a valid library card and their patron number, their reading device, and an Internet connection. \u00a0Once downloaded, digital media can be enjoyed and transferred to popular devices such as MP3 players, iPods\u00ae, Smartphones, Nooks, Kindles and more. There are dozens of devices that are compatible with Nebraska Overdrive. No matter what your device, users will need to download free software in order to use this service.<\/p>\n
