How long can I keep items, and how are they returned?īooks and audiobooks can be checked out for 1 or 2 weeks, which is a choice you can make when selecting ‘Borrow!’ Items are returned automatically on their due date, though you may renew an item within 3 days prior to it’s due date if there are no holds on the item. As soon as an item is returned, you may check out another. Our Overdrive accounts allow you to borrow up to 3 items at a time and you can have 5 holds. Hold preferences can be changed in the settings.
Place a hold to reserve the book and Overdrive will notify you when it is ready. This means that popular books in the collection may be checked out to other patrons. Most eBooks and Audiobooks on Overdrive can only be checked out by one patron at a time per copy. Overdrive is a digital collection that usually works just like a physical library. The first time you use the Libby app, the app will give you a helpful tour to get started. Select a book and then select ‘Borrow’ or ‘Place Hold’ to add it to your ‘Shelf’. Once you log into the Overdrive website or set up the Libby app, you can use the search bar to search for items by title, author, or keywords, or you can browse through the several collections on display. You'll be asked to identify your library, and then enter your valid Gilford Library card number as well as the PIN that you use to access your library account. Easy, organized, and browseable.Įasy, you are already signed up! On the OverDrive website, or within the Libby app, click ‘Sign in using library card’.
The Libby app can also be used on PCs running Windows 10. You can view available titles and manage your checkouts by visiting the Overdrive website on your PC, or by downloading the OverDrive “Libby” app to your Android, iOS, or Microsoft mobile device.
