Download eBooks, digital audiobooks, and magazines to a smartphone, tablet, eReader, or computer!
Maryland’s Digital Library, powered by OverDrive, provides thousands of eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eMagazines to borrow right from your computer or mobile device. Download the Libby app from your device’s app store, read on your Kindle or Kindle app, or read or listen in your browser. For the greatest selection, including content purchased just for Southern Maryland Library cardholders, please sign in before browsing.
Important Information and Getting Started:
- View OverDrive’s Privacy Policy
- See which devices are compatible with the Library’s downloadable collection.
- Learn more about the Libby App.
- Get help with the Libby App.
- Check out ten items at a time, and have ten items on hold at a time. Magazines do not count toward your ten checkouts, nor do they need to be placed on hold. Magazines are always available.
- You can choose your checkout period- 7, 14, or 21 days. The default setting is 14 days, but you can change that at checkout.
- Recently, OverDrive removed the ability to return Kindle Books through your Libby App as well as the OverDrive website because of a syncing issue with Amazon’s system. However, you are still able to return your Kindle Book loans early through Kindle or Amazon’s website. See instructions on how to return your Kindle book loans early.
