This will provide Londoners with a greater selection of titles.

London Public Library has partnered with Burlington, Hamilton, Mississauga, and Ottawa Public Libraries to offer more titles through Overdrive. We have also noticed that items from the LPL Express Collection do not sync to most Kobos. It is not possible to borrow or sync items from the Partner Libraries using an eReader. In these cases, the title has to be transferred from a computer as described on the help page. Some titles may not be available for direct borrowing or syncing to these Kobos due to publisher restrictions on specific titles. Please note, it sometimes can take a few hours before your items show in your Books section. Once you go back to your Kobo eReader, you click on the sync button on the top right corner. You can borrow materials or add to your hold list from here. Borrowed eBooks will appear in the Books section of your Kobo alongside any books you have purchased.Īlternatively, you can search for books using a browser at.Go to Books, and you will see the title begins to automatically download to your Kobo.Just click on Borrow if you wish to start the checkout / download process.

Once you have searched for items, it will either say Place a Hold or Borrow.

You can then Search and borrow titles from the Library's OverDrive catalogue.

It will then prompt you to sign in with your Library Card number and PIN.

You will need to find the library by typing in London Public Library, select one of our 16 locations.

Your device will now prompt you to login to your account or create a new one if you never have used OverDrive before.

From the Home screen, tap the menu button on the top corner.

We have found most users prefer this method.

One is to browse and borrow directly from your Kobo and the other way is to use a browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, to checkout items and then sync your device. There are two ways to use your Kobo with our OverDrive collection. If you are using an older Kobo, the instructions for downloading and transferring to your eReader can be found on the Overdrive Help Site.
