After you browse the content, to download an item, add it to your cart,
then click on the Proceed to Checkout link. Choose "Penn Area Library"
from the drop-down list and then enter your patron ID number. A one-time
download and installation of a free software called "Overdrive Media
Console" is also required to comply with the publisher licensing
agreements. Once this is done, the digital media can be used on a
personal computer, mp3 player, and/or in some cases be burned to a CD.
Each item lists which of these digital rights applies.
