The library has to buy a license for each downloadable ebook, so we're only able to provide a limited number of "copies" of each ebook at a time. We do keep a close watch on the number of requests on print as well as electronic resources and purchase copies or licenses accordingly.

In order to find ebooks that you can download immediately, from the Overdrive home page click Collections and then click on Available Now. If you do join a waiting list through Overdrive you have the option of entering your email address to get a reminder when it is ready. If you are reading through Libby, you will get a notification on your phone when the title is available. You will have three days to check out the title once it is available.
