Meet Libby  

Libby was designed for your eBook, audiobook, and magazine loans to be available on one shelf. You can: keep track of reading history, resume a bookmark from multiple devices, renew and place items on hold, create a wish list, and more. All loans are automatically returned on their due date so you will never be charged overdue fines.

Rather use a computer browser?  Check out the OverDrive Nassau Digital Doorway website.
