Nassau Digital Doorway
A service of OverDrive, this site provides access to downloadable, digital ebooks, audio books, and magazines. Library patrons can download bestselling, popular, and classic eBooks and audiobooks to a PC or Mac computer or to a compatible eReader or digital-audio player, including Kindle, Nook, Android, iPad, iPod, MP3, iPhone, and most other mobile devices. The checkout period is 14 days, at the end of which the loan expires; there are no overdues. If the book is not in high demand, the loan can be renewed.
Download digital magazines through the Libby app or view them in a web browser. Magazines may be checked out for 21 days and are renewable. Magazine checkouts do not count toward a patron’s maximum number of checkouts on Overdrive.
The legacy OverDrive app was discontinued on May 1, 2023. OverDrive app users who have not yet made the switch need to change over to the Libby app to continue enjoying digital books through Nassau Digital Doorway.
Libby is now available to download from the Amazon Appstore. Going forward, users with Amazon Fire tablets should download Libby directly from the Amazon Appstore instead of manually sideloading the app directly from Overdrive. Alternatively, Kindle users can use the browser form of the Libby app, or use the “Read now with Kindle” option on the Nassau Digital Doorway site. Fire tablet users who already have the OverDrive app installed can continue to use it, but it is no actively supported.
Users with OverDrive’s Libby APK on their Fire tablet can continue to use that version. To switch to the Amazon Appstore version of the app, follow these steps. Note: Users who switch from the APK version to the Amazon Appstore version of Libby may lose their Libby timeline activity, search history, and app customizations. They will not lose their loans, holds, or tags.
