DISCUSSION
As a full member of the Santiago Library System, which is a consortium of libraries in
Orange County, the Santa Ana Library is eligible to receive California State Library
California Library Services Act funding. In July 2024, the Library was notified that it
would receive $15,802.58 to apply toward e-resources provided by Overdrive, Inc.
("Overdrive").
On October 17, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement with Overdrive, Inc.
("Overdrive") to provide content hosting services and digital content such as e-books, e-
audiobooks, e-magazines, and video streaming. In recent years, electronic content such
as e-books, e-audiobooks, e-magazines, and streaming content have become very
popular, and an essential part of the Library's digital services platform. Library patrons
can access Overdrive content through various methods that include the Santa Ana
Public Library's website, Libby app (by Overdrive), or on e-reader devices. Using
Overdrive, patrons can browse the Library's digital collection and check out materials
with a valid Santa Ana Public Library card. From there, users can easily download their
books, magazines, videos, or audiobooks to their computers or mobile devices. Titles
will automatically expire at the end of the lending period. Downloadable titles offer
library patrons of all ages a convenient way to access information and materials from
home or anywhere there is an internet connection.
