What is OverDrive OverDrive is a database provided by the Southern Adirondack Library System (SALS) that allows you to download eBooks to a supported portable device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer or an eReader Items checked out or reserved through Southern Adirondack Library On Demand (Salon) are viewable through Salon and not the online catalog

How OverDrive works : 

How OverDrive works Search for, check out, and download eBook titles for either 7 or 14 days. For most devices, OverDrive utilizes Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) to manage the eBooks. The Kindle uses your existing Amazon.com account. After the loan period expires, the eBook will return to the collection automatically. You may opt to return eBooks before the loan period is over.
