New World Languages Collection in Overdrive/Libby

The members of the Old Colony Library Network (OCLN), including Weymouth Public Libraries, announce the launch of World Language Collections in partnership with Overdrive. These collections include eBooks, downloadable audiobooks, and digital magazines, with original works and translations in Chinese, Danish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish; Castilian. The collections also include language instruction materials for those who want to learn English or another language. This new content from OCLN supplements materials that Weymouth Public Libraries had already purchased for its Overdrive collection in Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

World Language Collection titles can be found online at https://ocln.overdrive.com/library/worldlanguages, by searching OCLN's Overdrive content, and in the Libby and SORA apps for Android and iPhone.

The collections are available to anyone with a valid OCLN library card. Residents who do not have a library card are encouraged to register by visiting Weymouth Public Libraries. Residents may also go to https://ocln.ent.sirsi.net/custom/web/registration/index.html to sign up for an eCard that will allow immediate access to digital collections including Overdrive.
