OverDrive Promotional Materials

Through the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium (WPLC), library patrons can download titles from the “Digital Book Catalog & Download Center” using a service called OverDrive. When a patron checks out a title it is unavailable to anyone else for two-weeks, at the end of which the files are rendered unplayable on any of the supported devices. Users do have the option of burning most books to CDs, which do not have an expiration date.

To help make patrons aware of the resource, SCLS has promotional materials that are available free of charge to member libraries. You can download .pdf or .doc versions below, and either print them yourself or ask that we print copies for you.

Flyer (.pdf) | Bookmark (.pdf) | Press Release (.doc)

To submit a request for printed materials, contact Mark Ibach.

To download audio books, patrons must install proprietary software (Windows only) on their home computer. They can then use this software to listen to the book, or copy it to a PDA or MP3 player that supports the Windows Media Format. For a list of supported devices, visit www.playsforsure.com.
