Bud Werner Memorial Library

The Overdrive software platform is shared amongst 20 member libraries on Colorado's western slope and the Bud Werner Memorial Library purchases additional titles just for Steamboat Springs patrons. 

To view the whole collection, be sure to sign-in first.

Overdrive is designed to work just like a library where you can:

• browse for titles
• place holds on titles
• check out titles
• renew titles
• plus .... you never have to worry about fines or remember to return materials

Through Overdrive the library is able to offer access to:

• Audio Books ~ over 2300 titles
• eBooks ~ over 1200 titles
• Music ~ over 800 titles
• Videos ~ over 500 titles

• A current library card number is required to check out materials   
• You can only check out 5 items at a time
• A lending period of 7, 14, or 21 days can be chosen for each title at the time of check out
• Copies of a title act like physical items meaning that holds must be placed if all copies of a title are checked out
• If an item is not currently available, you can place a hold; once the title becomes available you are notified by email and you have 3 days to check it out before the hold expires
• Available on both PCs and MACs

Expiration Equation

• Titles downloaded to your computer will expire at the end of the lending period
• Titles transferred to an iPod or a WMA player will not expire until you re-sync your entire library
• Titles transferred to an eBook reader will expire at the end of the lending period
• Titles transferred to a Smart Phone will expire at the end of the lending period
• Always Available titles never expire

Mac Equation

Overdrive titles use DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection technology from Microsoft Corporation. Apple® devices (iPod, iPad, iPhone) used in conjunction with a computer on a Mac operating system do not support DRM-protected files. This means:

• You will have a very limited selection of audio book and music titles if you download to a Mac and transfer to an Apple® device (iPod, iPad, iPhone)
• You will be able to access most audio books and music titles if you download to a PC and your Apple® device is formatted for a PC
• Video is not viewable if downloaded to a Mac
• All eBook titles are available to Mac users
