eBooks Now Available from Overdrive at the Santa Fe Public Library


eBooks are finally here!

Today we go live with our eBook software, OverDrive. OverDrive has eBooks for Kindles, Nooks, Sony eReaders, and other eReaders.

  • When signing on, use your library card barcode, and be sure to include a capital “P”
  • You may have 2 titles checked out at one time, with the option of a 7- or 14-day checkout period
  • You may have 2 titles on hold at once, and you have 3 days to check out the hold after you receive your email that it is available for you
  • Titles automatically expire at the end of your 7- or 14-day checkout period


How OverDrive works:
  • Browse or search for eBooks in our digital collection: http://sanfe.lib.overdrive.com
  • Add the titles to your cart
  • Once you have found your two titles, select “Proceed to Checkout”
  • Click on “Download” and Adobe Digital Editions will launch, or for Kindles, select “Get for Kindle” via Amazon.com

Transferring Titles to your eReader:
  • If using a Kindle, you must go through your Amazon account to transfer the title to your Kindle
  • If using any other eReader, you’ll need the Adobe Digital Editions Software. When you go to checkout your first title, the link to download the software will be available
  • If you are using an iPhone, Android phone, or a tablet, you’ll need the OverDrive Media Console app to checkout, download, and read titles
