Connect with the Library Online!


Did you get an e-reader over the holidays? Perhaps you have access to your parent’s or sibling’s iPad or own an iPod touch of your own? Even if you don’t have access to any of the above, but have access to a PC, you can download e-books for free with your Orange library card from our downloadable e-book supplier OverDrive.



If the idea of downloading an e-book seems daunting to you, consider this: many of the newest fiction books for teens are available through OverDrive, such as Inheritance by Christopher Paolini, Crossed by Allie Condie, The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, and Legend by Mary Lu.

Once a book is downloaded on your device it’s yours for two weeks. After that it will automatically expire, so you’ll never have to worry about a late fee!

To get started, click here.  Then click on Quick Start Guide under the Getting Started tab on the left hand side. This will take you through step by step instructions on how to download and activate the software you need to use OverDrive with your device. If you have trouble you can always call us at (203)-891-2170 or email us at caseref@lioninc.org  to make an appointment with a librarian who will take you through the process step-by-step.

Happy Reading!
