Merlock--You do have to make one trip in to the library to pick up your card. Once you have a card, you can do everything online as far as checking out e-books. You'll need special software--there are links for it at the library's download site. For e-Pub and PDF books, you need "Adobe Digital Editions", for mobi-pocket you need the Mobipocket reader software and for their audio books, you need the Overdrive software.
You just add the books to your online "book bag" or whatever they call it, then choose check out. After that, you'll have to enter your library card number and then your pin number. Then there will be a link for you to download the book to your computer.
Hope this helps--post back if you have any problems. Once you get everything set up and registered the process is very easy.
