The Wonderful World of Ebooks

If you're new to using our library or just starting to think about possibly diving into electronic books, this blog is for you.

At the Decatur Public Library, we are currently a part of Camellia Net. Which is supported by a company called "OverDrive".
 
 
In order to see our entire collection on Camellia Net, you can go to this website and sign in with your library card number in the top right hand corner. There you will be able to search our collection and see what's available to you to download right then. If an item is not available at the current moment, you can put a hold on the item. You will have to provide an e-mail address so they can e-mail you when the item is available.  At that point you will have around 2 days to download it.



If you have any questions about your electronic reader device, Overdrive Help probably has something for you. They have tons of videos that are all about setting up a specific device, downloading, and returning items. You may also e-mail the systems manager at the library to see if they can help you at decaturoverdrivehelp@gmail.com
