Kentucky Genealogy & History on OverDrive


Kentucky Bluegrass
 I have heard lots of great comments about our Brevard County Libraries eLibrary Catalog and for those of you interested in genealogy and history, particularly in the "Bluegrass State", it just got even better!

OverDrive has a program called Community Reserve, in which participating libraries upload their own content to the OverDrive collection. This content can then be used by other libraries at no cost. Through Community Reserve, we have added 176 new titles, all Kentucky genealogy (such as city directories, marriage and cemetery records) to our collection. Click HERE for a screen shot which takes you to the Advanced Search page for OverDrive. In the Subject line click on the arrow for the pull down menu and the new titles can be found under the subject headings of "Kentucky Genealogy" and "Kentucky History".

Hopefully more communities will add content as OverDrive evolves, so check back and see.
