OverDrive is an eBook platform that is used by many public libraries in New Zealand.  The library subscribes to this service and has its own collection available for borrowing.

To access content, search in Oliver - the library catalogue for a title and you will be directed to Kelstons OverDrive page.  You will be asked for your username and password, which is the same as your Oliver login details.

To read offline you will need to download the OverDrive App.

Access is also available directly via the OverDrive Apps - Libby and Sora and these can be downloaded on your reading device. 

We recommend Sora for students.
