eBook & Audio

BRIDGES

OverDrive is a company that provides digital content (like ebooks and audiobooks) for free to public library patrons and students. OverDrive offers a number of apps for different audiences. BRIDGES is Iowa's library consortium of ebook, audiobook, and magazine content. BRIDGES can be accessed via a desktop computer or a laptop only. Any mobile digital lending can be done on the Libby app. 

Libby

OverDrive is discontinuing the legacy OverDrive app in early 2023 and transitioning users to the Libby app. Libby is OverDrive’s newer app for browsing and enjoying digital content from our library.

It’s time to give Libby a try! All your loans, holds, and wish list items will be waiting for you in Libby when you add your library card.

Libby also comes with new features we know you’ll love, like:

• Tags to categorize books however you’d like—you can even sync your OverDrive wish list into a tag!

• A central bookshelf for all loans and holds

• Customizable notifications for ready holds, new magazines, and more

BRIDGES will still work on a desktop computer.
