Overdrive

Rockland Public Library-Overdrive

This is a place for you to find books to read aloud to students.  It is not a site that is recommended for student use unless parents set up the app and have changed the settings so that students only have access to age appropriate materials. Selections include audio and ebooks. You can check out up to three books at a time and can have them for two weeks. You will need a library card from a participating library like Rockland. Any RSU 13 teacher can get a Rockland library card.

1. Look at the navigation bar on the left and click on eResources.
