Overdrive
I want to thank all of you for mentioning the Overdrive app for borrowing library books. You've opened up my world! Wohoo!
Now my local libraries have limited selection and I was wondering if it's possible to get library cards for various libraries either out of province, or out of state, without being a resident there? Does it give you more selection?
Any of you have more tips and tricks or advice regarding Overdrive?

Yes, you can.
For example the Brooklyn Library allows you a card for 50.00 a year- to me that's a bargain if it means you can borrow a lot of titles.
Let me find the link for you. Each library has a different fee. My library has tons of audiobooks that I download to my Ipod.

I just thought of something- my son lives in Virginia. I'm going to have him get a library card and let me use it for overdrive. I can never have enough resources

Not sure how it works in Canada but I paid for a yearlong digital only library card in the next state over. (It's only thirty minutes away). It cost me $20 which is well worth it. New Hampshire seems to have more mysteries to pick from. I'm especially glad I did this because Maine went to a different system that I don't like as much. I love Overdrive too. I also love that the books get returned. Less clutter, even if it's on a device, works for me.

Another plug for overdrive and one called axis 360 that a city library near me uses. I have a county library card for free and pay a small fee for the city library since I don't live in that city. Worth it.
