In an effort to create “a world enlightened by reading,” Ohio-based onlinepany OverDrive curated the largest collection of magazines, ebooks, and audiobooks available to borrow through award-winning apps you can get right on your smartphone! In 2022 alone, public libraries and schools from all over the world donated more than one million pieces of content to OverDrive’s catalog, so there’s never been a better time to get involved.
The best part? It’s the easiest way to get your kiddos immersed in reading without having to even visit the local library. 🙌 All you’ll need to access the content is an internet connection and either a library card or student ID.
Here’s how it works!
