Frequently Asked Questions
About Overdrive

Do I need a valid library card to checkout / download materials?
Yes. Your library card needs to be in good standing. If you need a library card, stop by the library and sign-up. It only takes a few minutes. They will issue you a library card and assign a PIN to you. Both items are needed to download materials. Here's the details for getting a card.

I forgot my PIN. How do I find out what it is?
Come into the Library and ask for assistance at the Adult Circulation Services Desk. For the security of your account, we cannot assign PINs over the phone.
