Owwl2go FAQs
E-book and audiobook borrowing
Your OWWL library card gives you access to a wide variety of e-book and audiobook titles!
Special note to mobile phone users:
Instant Digital Card (IDC) accounts have begun to expire. An IDC allowed those without a library card to use their mobile phone number to create an account in OverDrive or via the Libby app. This was a temporary program offered at the beginning of the pandemic when our libraries were closed to the public.
If you can no longer use your mobile phone number to log in to OverDrive or the Libby app to access the OWWL2go digital collection, you will need to obtain a physical OWWL library card. You can either visit your local library or use our online registration form to request a card.
