hi my name is peters the lesson today we're going to show you how to download e books from the peters township public library collection to your i pad to do this you would go to our web page which is w w w p t library dot org and tap on the audio book an e book downloads which is right there the very first time you do this you'll want to download an app to your i pad and you can do that by going down to the bottom and tapping where it says overdrive media console get the and i've already installed the app on this machine so i don't have to reinstall it but you would go through that process in order to be able to download the books to your i pad once you install the app you are then ready to select and download material from our library from this page you can select the e book that you would like to download and let's say that you're interested in reading living dead in dallas by charlene harris the problem with this is that someone already has this particular e book checked out and therefore you cannot do that but you can if you'd like place and hold what the placing in the whole does is you give it an email address and when this book is returned you get an e mail message saying that the book is now available for you to check out i'm not going to actually do that because it does take a few minutes so i'm going to go back and select another book actually i'm going to go click on more now i am looking for a book that has add to the card rather than placing the hold and this one all together dead has the capability of being checked out because it says at the e card at this point i want to be very very careful that i tap the correct add to the card because each book has two versions one for kindle books and the other one for adob ebooks and the app i have installed on this i pad is for adobe e books so i tap on add to the cart the bottom one instead of the top one at that point it displays the fact that i am trying to check out the last symbol and it gives me the option of going back and checking out some more if i would like or proceed to check out which is what i'm going to do once i proceed to checkout then once a library card number so i'm going to type one in and i'm like to tap log in and then i have a choice i can check out any book either for seven days or for fourteen days since i'm doing this for demonstration purposes i'm going to select seven days because i want someone else to have an opportunity to check it out if they want to so i am ready to go and i simply tap on confirm checkout and then i'm given a page where i can actually do the download there's a little virtual button that says download under altogether dead and i tap download under an altogether dead and the overdrive media console a that i had installed previous to that opens up and i'm not going to answer that question don't ask me and it's not downloading ok once is completely downloaded i can tap on it and begin to read and i can read the book at the end of the seven days or fourteen days depending on which one i have selected the book becomes unreadable and then i would have to delete it from my  pad but there's never any fine because our magically it's return to the library's collection so get your i pad download the app and check out some books and enjoy reading
