Libby, the App from OverDrive
OverDrive is the company that provides Beaumont Library with eMaterials in a variety of formats, even Kindle! These items can be accessed from our OverDrive webpage or through Libby, the OverDrive app.
To check out OverDrive materials from Beaumont Library, you will need a Beaumont Library card or an Instant Digtal Card.
Beaumont Library cards are available to all California residents, but require a visit to the library to confirm your information, and can be used for all library materials, not just eMaterials.
The Instant Digital card can only be used to check out OverDrive eMaterials.
You can sign up for a Instant Digital Card by clicking here or click here to learn more about the Instant Digital Card.
You can sign up for a Instant Digital Card without coming into the library but you must be a district resident (i.e., live in Beaumont or Cherry Valley.)
With your Beaumont Library Card or Instant Digital Card, you can also check out OverDrive eMaterials from our partner libraries:
- Alhambra Civic Center Library
- Beverly Hills Public Library
- Buena Park Library District
