Coming Soon:
The NEW WCDPL Overdrive Collection
Popular eBooks and digital audiobooks available through the award-winning Libby app
Soon, WCDPL cardholders will have expanded access to a wide selection of popular eBooks and audiobooks free from the new WCDPL OverDrive Collection. “The WCDPL Overdrive Collection has been created to meet the local digital demands of our WCDPL patrons,” says Library Director Michael Penrod.
The new digital collection is expected to go live in early August. With their WCDPL library card, library users can borrow from
both
the Ohio Digital Library and the WCDPL Overdrive Collection.
Once the new service rolls out:
- WCDPL cardholders will be able to borrow from the WCDPL OverDrive Collection by visiting wcdpl.overdrive.com or by downloading the Libby app
- WCDPL patrons with holds in the Ohio Digital Library may want to transfer their holds on titles common to both collections to the WCDPL Overdrive Collection by placing new holds within the new service, where the wait times should be shorter.
Are you already an Ohio Digital Library user who enjoys the Libby app? You will be able to add the WCDPL OverDrive Collection to your Libby app by tapping on "Library," then on Libby’s face in the pop-up window. Next, tap "Add a Library" and enter "WCDPL" in the new screen, then select the WCDPL OverDrive Collection.
Watch for more information soon at wcdpl.org/eMedia, or call Information Services at 419-352-5050.

For a limited time, while WCDPL observes reduced library hours due COVID-19, you can self-register for a temporary library which will allow you to borrow eBooks, magazines, downloadable audiobooks, and more.
Here's how to self-register:
Digital resources that work with your temporary card:*
- Ohio Digital Library - borrow eBooks, magazines, and downloadable audiobooks
- Flipster - borrow magazines
- Hoopla - borrow eBooks, downloadable audiobooks, music, movies, and TV programs. No waiting your selections are available immediately.
*Temporary cards will expire September 30.
We hope you'll consider stopping by the library during our Express Service hours, where you can register for your permanent library card. If your temporary card expires before you obtain a permanent card, WCDPL will not be able to recover requests or checked-out items in the Ohio Digital Library and Hoopla.
