eReading on Your Computer or Handheld Device:
Iowa Public Libraries offer a free service for those who have a public library card and a computer or device that will support OverDrive Media Console from the App Store.
Download OverDrive Media Console, have your library card ready, and soon you will be able to enjoy eBooks and audiobooks from WILBOR. Materials are free and download in moments. When the lending period is over (typically two weeks), the material automatically expires, so there is never an overdue charge. Click here to watch a WILBOR tutorial.
