Borrow and download or stream books, audiobooks, magazines, movies and music for FREE with your Fremont Library Card!
If your card is from another library, you must use the apps provided by your home library.
Overdrive (Libby App) is the only e-book provider for libraries that also includes access to Kindle books, although not all eBooks are playable on Kindle readers. The ebooks and audiobooks in Fremont's Libby/Overdrive app have all been curated by Fremont Librarians.
Each cardholder may have 5 checkouts at a time. Items may be renewed two days before the due date if no one else is waiting. You can return titles early to free up your number of available checkouts, and you can place holds on unavailable titles as well as those that you recommend through the Overdrive website.
