The JMRL Summer Challenge ends on August 31, so you still have time to turn in your challenge sheets (and be entered to win the grand prize!).
There will be grand prizes at each of the branches. The grand prize for children will be a gift card to Barnes and Noble (or another local bookstore- check with your local branch). The grand prize for teen will be an Amazon gift card, and the adult grand prize will be a Kindle. The drawings will be held after the program ends on August 31.
One of the challenges for Sheet 3 (also available in Spanish) is to download an eBook or audiobook. JMRL has several digital collections located in the eLibrary, one of the most popular is OverDrive.
To get started using OverDrive you’ll need to set up an account using your library card number. If you want to read or listen to a book on your tablet or phone, it’s best if you download the Libby app from OverDrive through the app store or play store. There are also videos and tutorials linked on the eLibrary page that can take you through the process. If you’re going to read or listen to a book on your computer, you’ll just need to go to the OverDrive website and login to your account.
There are thousands of titles available, both fiction and nonfiction, for all ages. There are bestsellers, classics, test prep books and travel guides- something for every reader!
Follow these steps to use the Libby app: 
STEP 1
Install the Libby app from your device’s app store.
STEP 2
In Libby, follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a valid library card (we are part of the Southwest Virginia Public Libraries).
STEP 3
Browse JMRL’s collection and borrow a title.
STEP 4
Borrowed titles appear on your Shelf and download to the app automatically when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, so you can read them when you’re offline.
From your Shelf, you can:
Tap Open Book, Open Audiobook, or Open Magazine to start reading or listening to a title. Tap Manage Loan to see options like Renew, Return, or Send to Device to send a book to Kindle
If you have questions, you can always call the Central Reference department at 434-979-7151 ext. 4 or email us. You can also stop by any library with your device and ask for help with downloading (some branches require an appointment- so call ahead)!
