Attention OverDrive Users
|  Our popular subscription service for borrowing downloadable audiobooks and eBooks has just introduced a completely new platform. While the purpose is to provide an enhanced and more user-friendly interface, it is very different from what we are all used to.
Adult Services Librarian Dorothy Pawlowski and her colleagues at the Information Desk will be happy to help you find your way around the new configuration. Just stop by or call them at 203-438-2282 x1014.
