- A valid library card
- Access to the Internet
- Free software for the computer and/or
device on which you wish to use the material you download from this site
Look for links under the Getting Started sidebar on how to
acquire and
install the OverDrive Media Console software. You will also
find detailed information about using the service and where to go to
get help.
Note that the eBooks are recorded in the copyright-protected Windows
Media Audio format. Due to licensing restrictions, the WMA is
not currently supported by the Apple iPod or Macintosh. You
may also wish to use a high speed connection to the Internet to
download your books. As an example, a book that was published
as a 352-page paperback is available through eBooks as a 94 MB
download! This could require several hours to download over a
dial-up connection.
You may have up to five items checked out at a time. The
typical lending period is 14 days, but can differ for some
titles. After the lending period has elapsed, an eBook will
no longer be accessible, at which point you will want to delete it from
your computer. Items cannot be renewed, but you can check
them out again if they are available. You may also request
holds for items that are currently checked out. You may have
up to ten holds at any one time.
Other information and services of the Weld Library District, including

If you do not already have a library card, you will find information on
how to get one at http://www.mylibrary.us/my_account/get_a_card.asp.
