The New Hampshire State Library manages the eBook, audiobook, and digital magazine service on behalf of the state's participating public libraries.

Patrons are encouraged to visit their local New Hampshire public library to obtain a library card, seek in-person assistance, and request items to be added to the digital collection.
This service will never send you a text message asking you to verify your account or add a credit card. You may receive email notifications or app notifications on your phone about holds or expiring titles, but never text messages.

You will never be asked for payment to enjoy this service. If you find yourself confronted with a payment when trying to enjoy eBooks from "Libby," please close the site and contact your local public library for assistance on using the NH Downloadable Books Service and Libby app from OverDrive.
