DOWNLOAD EBOOKS & AUDIOBOOKS
Maine Library Downloads
The Maine Library Download service provides access to audiobooks and electronic books for download.
All you need is your library card number to begin downloading books. Ask at the Cushing Library desk for a card with your patron number.
Audiobooks can be played on a variety of devices and eBooks can be read on any computer, on Kindles, Sony Readers, Barnes & Noble Nook, Borders Kubo and a few other devices.
The first time you set up your reader, it can be a bit complicated getting the various authorizations that let all the pieces interact correctly. We can help with that. After the first download, everything will go more smoothly.
There is an Overdrive app in Apple’s app store for the iPhone and iPod Touch, plus apps for the Android and Blackberry. See the Overdrive website for specifics.
Some titles are also playable, with the use of additional software, on other devices. If you have questions on compatibility, email us at cushinglibrary@cushing.lib.me.us
