What this means to you:
You can access your library account from the Follett website at madisonlibrary.follettdestiny.com, the library website www.madisonlibrary.net or Overdrive website http://nebraska.lib.overdrive.com.
If you have questions call us, 402-454-3500, we can and will set up your account, if you prefer. For anyone with questions or issues the tutorial below describes account set up step-by-step.
When you go to check out a book on Overdrive you will notice lots of changes, we hope that once we are past the confusion, the process becomes easier, more intuitive, and more secure for everyone.
If you use Overdrive you will no longer use your account number and cornwell as the password to sign in. You will need to set up your Follett account madisonlibrary.follettdestiny.com.
We apologize for any issues that the integration process causes for everyone!
Look in the upper right corner where it says Create Account 
And now you just need to enter your account number and last name 
The next screen allows you to create a login and password, make these simple enough to remember, but not too easy…. 
Once your account is created Follett automatically logs you in 
This is what you need to do to use overdrive. Now go to the Overdrive website: nebraska.lib.overdrive.com Or link from the library website www.madisonlibrary.net
Click Account. 
Find Madison in the drop down list (Tip: on a computer type M). 
Right below Madison Public Library it says click here in blue (yes, it is hard to see). 
You’re brought to the Follett webpage to login with the credentials we created in the first step. 
This is your check out screen, you can see what titles you have checked out, and look at your holds, as well as change check out length under settings. 
To go to the main screen for easier searching click the Nebraska Overdrive Libraries in the upper left. 
After you log in you are in your overdrive account and can search and find books using the search bar in the upper right or the categories listed in black.

The Library has a new staff member! Ernesto hasn’t worked here long but he is already indispensable. Ernesto speaks Spanish. He works most afternoons so come on in and say Hi.
She comes by 3 times a week to use the WiFi to finish her homework from college. She likes this library because it is clean, organize, and it has stuff that will entertain the kids. She likes this library just the way it is.
