How to Get Started with Overdrive...

TO GET STARTED: 

To start using Overdrive, visit our “Virtual Branch” at http://bossier.lib.overdrive.com/.

Find the “Software Downloads” link on the left side of our Virtual Branch Page. You must download two pieces of software:

  • Adobe Digital Editions: e-book software. 
    •  ADE will need to be activated with an email address.  Follow directions on the installation screen.
  • Overdrive Media Console:  allows you to enjoy audiobooks, music, and videos. 
Once you install the software, you will be ready to download some books! 
  • Click on a title to download.
  • Click “Add to my Digital Bookbag.” 
  • From there, you can “Browse for More Titles”, or “Proceed to Checkout.” 


TO CHECKOUT:

  • You will be prompted to “Sign In.”
  • Login with your library card number and PIN.
    • Your PIN is the last 4 digits of your library card number.
  • Select 7 or 14-day checkout.
  • Click “Confirm Checkout.”
  •  Download your titles.
    •  E-books will open in Adobe Digital Editions
    • Audiobooks, music, and video will open in Overdrive Media Console
Once your titles are downloaded, you can transfer them to a portable device.  

Don’t have a portable device?  Not a problem!  You can enjoy all of our downloadable materials directly from your computer!
