Frequently asked questions


Why do I need to enter my birthdate?

For more information: http://www.overdrive.com/education/k-12-schools/

The first time a student places a hold they will be prompted to enter their date of birth.

Students under age 13 will be required to enter their parent / guardian's email address.

The parent / guardian may opt to have the student's email address removed.

In this case, the student will not be able to place further holds until the age of 13.

If the parent / guardian never replies, the student will receive an email when the title is available for check out.
