How can you help?
- Print copies of the How To guides to keep and distribute at the circulation/reference desks and point customers to the location of the guides on the website at metrolibrary.org/downloads.
- Print out the eBook Holiday Chaos poster and display at ciruclation and reference desk. This poster uses the same graphics being used in the email blast.
- You can also order the eye-catching Downloads & Streaming "smartphone" that MAC created and post them around your library.
- If a customer can’t find a physical copy of a title, check the OverDrive catalog to see if we own a digital copy, ask the customer if they’ve tried OverDrive, and encourage them to do so by showing them the How To guides.
- Inform a customer that with OverDrive Read and OverDrive Listen, no software installation is required. They simply need an Internet connection in order to read or listen to their title in their browser (and they can even read OverDrive Read eBooks offline). OverDrive Read and OverDrive Listen are the easiest ways to enjoy our OverDrive collection.
- UNLIMITED RENEWALS! If there are no holds on an OverDrive title, it can be renewed an unlimited number of times until a hold is placed on it.
- Mention our eReading rooms for Kids and Teens.
- Mention our narrated eBooks for Kids which not only require no software installation to enjoy, but they're also an easy way for your little reader or pre-reader to follow along and it’s a way for the parent to not feel guilty about screen time.
