The Library offers free access to downloadable books through a service called OverDrive. This service is available 24/7 and is accessible from the convenience of your home or office computer.

There are two types of downloadable books, audio books that you listen to and ebooks that you read. Audio books can be transfered to either an MP3 player, a music player or an ipod. Ebooks can be transferred to a smart phone, pocket PC, laptop or an ereader.

With an Exeter Public Library card, you can download titles to a computer that runs Windows 98 SE, 2000, ME, XP, or Vista and supports Windows Media Player version 9.0 and above. In addition, some titles can now also be downloaded to Macintosh computers. Some titles may be burned to CD, if the publisher permits.

Browse hundreds of bestselling titles, download them to your computer, transfer them to a portable device, or burn selected titles onto a CD for listening on the go.

The first time that you check out materials from OverDrive, you will be provided with instructions to download the software that you need. Most titles can only be checked out to one user at a time. Reserves can be placed on items that are in use.
