Disney Digital Books Have Arrived at Rock County Public Library

Rock County Public Library has expanded its digital collection with the addition of Disney Digital Books at http://libraries.ne.gov/rockcounty.  This new collection features nearly 700 Disney Online Books and  downloadable EPUB and PDF eBooks.

The Disney Online Books are browser based and can be enjoyed on a Windows or Mac computer. Titles offer interactive features to enhance the user experience such as a ‘magic pen’ that pronounces words with just one click, and the ability to look up word definitions. Users will recognize familiar Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Disney Princesses, Hanna Montana, and more.

Users can browse, check out, and enjoy titles on their computer. Disney EPUB eBooks, along with the rest of the eBook collection, can be downloaded to a computer, plus transferred to a compatible eBook reader such as the Barnes & Noble Nook or Sony Reader.  To check out both types of Disney Digital Books, users need a valid library card, computer, and Internet connection.  At the end of the lending period, titles automatically expire and are returned to the collection.

Rock County Public Library partners with OverDrive, Inc. (www.overdrive.com), a global leader in digital media services, to offer the digital service.  You can easily log on to Overdrive by going to the library website printed above and click on the Overdrive icon. You can recognize these books in the collection because they will have “Mickey Mouse” ears in the upper-right corner of the cover image (as opposed to the book or audio icon).

To do a search that retrieves all Disney Online Books, go to the Advanced Search Screen and select “Disney Online Book” from the drop-down format menu, then click Search. Alternately, scroll down the Nebraska OverDrive Libraries home page (http://nebraska.lib.overdrive.com) and click on the big, orange “Check out a Disney Digital Book today!” square.
