How to Get eBooks
The Soutar Memorial Library is connected to the OK Virtual Library. There are thousands of eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines you can get online.
In the Catalog
When you’re looking at the In House list, you’ll see colors on each item. Here’s what they mean:
- Pink – item is checked out

In House books will show a shelf location. If it’s online, it will say “Internet.”
Once you find an eBook, click Download This Item.

PDF with EPUB
The EPUB option comes on many eReaders. You can get the right software for most smartphones, tablets and computers.
Apps for Phones and Devices: Overdrive and Libby
You can use Libby on all devices, except for Kindle Fire. Libby is easy to use. I highly recommend trying out the Libby app!
If you’re reading on a Kindle Fire, you must use the Overdrive app. It’s a little more intimidating, but it can be done. Once you get it set up, it’s easy from there.
To get either app, go to overdrive.com.
If you have issues or you can’t get into your account, or if there’s a block for some reason, call the library. We’ll be happy to help you.
