Or can we both have seperate ID's and still use the library card?

I suppose if we have to have it the other way it will take up 4 devices two computers for downloads and two readers.

Not really understanding this process, but want to do it right. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
You and your mom can indeed use the same library account.

The important thing to realize is that the checked out library ebook, is not tied to a specific copy of Digital Editions or a specific reader until it is downloaded.

Should you both want to read the same ebook, you would either have to remove the ADE DRM, or checkout the ebook a second time to be able to download it to another device.

Hope that answers your questions.

cheers
