Publishers Limiting E-book and Audiobook Access
Start looking for e-books and audiobooks at OverDrive Digital Home
- Check out up to 30 items at a time for 7, 14 or 21 days -- your choice.
- Items can be renewed from within the OverDrive catalog within three days of their expiration so long as no one else is waiting for the item.
- Download available titles, or request to be notified by email when a checked-out title becomes available.
*You may notice some delays and longer wait times to check out e-books and audiobooks. Top publishers are placing further restrictions in purchasing and pricing models for libraries, including the Pierce County Library System.
The models will greatly limit the choices libraries can offer you. We share frustration with this new publishing model, however, we still offer more than 70,000 great e-books and audiobooks.
Library associations and libraries across the country are urging publishers to consider the true impact of these limitations on readers. Thank you for your patience!
