The Regional Ebook and Audiobook Download System offers thousands of digital ebooks and audiobooks to patrons of public libraries that belong to the Tennessee Regional Library System.  These digital titles can be downloaded to your personal computer and then transferred to various portable devices such as MP3 players and ebook readers. 

To use R.E.A.D.S. go to this website - http://reads.lib.overdrive.com - and click the “Download Digital Media Guided Tour” link found on the upper left-hand side of the R.E.A.D.S. homepage.  This short video will show you how to search for a title, checkout and download the title to your personal computer, and transfer the title to your portable device.
