What's the difference between an OverDrive account and a library card?

A library card:

• Is issued by your library
• Lets you borrow titles from their physical or digital collection
• Is required to sign into your library's digital collection
• Can also be used to sign into the OverDrive app and overdrive.com (for most libraries)
• May have other perks at the library (like granting access to a library computer)

An OverDrive account:

• Can be set up using your email address
• Lets you sign into the OverDrive app and overdrive.com
• Can be used to authorize Adobe Digital Editions to download ebooks on a computer

Even if you create an OverDrive account, you'll still need a library card to sign into your library and borrow digital titles.
