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.
LIBBY/OVERDRIVE
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.
HOOPLA
Most of the Hoopla catalog is available for instant borrows, making it great for when you want to read the sequel right now! There's also an easy "Kids Mode" that will hide adult titles from view.
The app will show how many borrows you have left. A new set of borrows are issued the 1st of each month; unused borrows do not roll over.
To read books or listen to audiobooks offline, you must use the mobile app and download the content.
Choose from over 4,000 popular magazine titles from around the world. Borrows of magazines do not count towards your total of 5 allowed eBook checkouts at a time.
In the Libby App for Apple or Libby App for Android you can click "Subscribe" to get automatic downloads of the latest issue of the magazine to your shelf when it is released, so you never miss an issue.
