Hmm...

Connect to your wireless network.
From either Home or My Books, tap on More.
Tap on Settings.
Tap on Overdrive.
If you haven't set up OverDrive before, you should see the first image. Tap on Sign in to OverDrive
You should now see the second image. Tap on Get Started
You will now be asked to Find a public library. This will be your main library and the only one you can browse from the Kobo. Enter enough of your library name to have it show in the search results and tap Go. This is the page in the third image.
If everything looks good, you will see the page as seen in the fourth image. I tried all three ways. The QR code worked from my phone and the browser login worked from my desktop. You will need to have your overdrive credentials.
Once you have signed in on OverDrive, your Kobo will automagically switch to the fifth image and you should be happily setup.

So now any books borrowed from a library configured in your OverDrive account will now sync to your Kobo if they are available from Kobo (basically, the ISBNs must match).
