Q. I have a Kindle. Can I download ebooks from the Baltimore County Public Library?

Kindle users can borrow free eBooks from Baltimore County Public Library through BCPL's the Overdrive website or through the BCPL library catalog. Kindle eBooks are not available through the Cloud Library. You will need a BCPL library card or e-card or will need to register your library card from another library with BCPL.

The Overdrive collection of ebooks is available to customers with a BCPL library card in good standing, an Amazon account set up and a Kindle device or reading app registered with Amazon. 

Instructions on how to use your Kindle with the library's Overdrive site are available at

If you are trying to send a title to a Kindle device and you do not have an active Wi-Fi connection, you may instead choose to load your library book via USB.
