Overdrive is a company that provides software to libraries, not a library themselves. Normally a traditional library is where the books are really checked out and you normally need a local library card to perform the checkout. Yes, like all libraries books these are paid for with tax dollars. For example the Boston Public Libary used Overdrive software to manage their book checkouts.
