New Hampshire Downloadable Books
The library's subscription to NH Downloadable Books provides our patrons access to very expensive content, in a very cost-effective manner. This would be impossible for the library to do alone, and without the wide selection of available titles. Patrons can download e-books, audiobooks, and magazines to their computer, tablet, smartphone or Kindle. Download the Libby for Overdrive app from your device’s App Store. If you are using a Kindle you will need to give permission to add apps from another location, find this in your settings. Libby is set up and linked directly to your library card, so you if you are not able to download an item, it may be because you have an overdue book on your account, or your card has expired. ____________________________________________________ 9/18/25 Update: Please know that OverDrive, our NHDB vendor, has made changes to suspended holds. In the past, Libby users would place a suspension for a specific period of time (7 days, etc.) and the book would unsuspend automatically.
We support this change, and I encourage all to see the positive aspects of this update. Why? Too often, people will set a 7-day suspension, only to have the title sit in limbo for three days only to suspend it again. This can cause a copy to be in limbo for quite a while. Hopefully, this change helps get copies to our digital readers more quickly. Thank you!
