  • Windows® 8 and RT
    Getting started with Windows® 8 and RT You can use the OverDrive app to get eBooks, audiobooks, streaming videos, and periodicals from your library on your Windows 8 or RT device. Windows 8 comes on tablets and computers, and Windows RT comes on tablets like the Microsoft Surface RT and Surface 2. Note: Some digital formats may not be available from all libraries. Step 1 Install the OverDrive app from the Windows Store. Step 2 Open the OverDrive app and follow the prompts to create an OverDrive account and log in. If you’re under 13, select I am under 13 years old instead. Step 3 In the OverDrive app, select the Add a library button, then follow the prompts to find your library’s OverDrive website. • Once you find it, swipe down (or right click) on your library to save it to your “My libraries” list. • Click or tap your library’s name to start browsing. Step 4 Log into your library’s OverDrive website with your library card and borrow a title. Note: Magazines and newspapers work a little differently than other digital titles. They have a Send to NOOK app button instead of a Borrow button, and to read them, you’ll need to install the NOOK reading app from the Windows Store. See our “getting started with periodicals” guide for more help. Step 5 Find borrowed titles under your account on your library’s OverDrive website. You can: • Download EPUB eBooks* and MP3 audiobooks directly to the OverDrive app. • Select Play to play streaming videos right in your browser.

    Product Data Sheet Section I – Product and Company Information Product: Lithium ion and Lithium ion polymer batteries Manufacturer: Models: See Microsoft Product Battery Information Table, Section 14 Microsoft Corporation Effective Date: January 10, 2020 One Microsoft Way Version: 2020A Redmond, WA 98052-6399 Tel 425 882 8080 Section II – Composition Information Not chemically dangerous during normal use in accordance with Microsoft recommendations as stated in the user manuals or other similar documentation. Exposure to hazardous chemicals is not expected with normal handling and use. In particular, the cell or battery should not be opened or burned. Section III – Hazards Identification Emergency Overview: Do not open or disassemble cells or batteries or expose them to fire or open flame. Do not puncture or deform. Cells and batteries present a hazard only if mishandled in a way that causes damage to the cell or battery or compromises their integrity. Primary Routes of Exposure: Risk of exposure to hazardous materials will only occur if the cell or battery is physically, thermally or electrically abused to the extent that the integrity of the cell or battery is compromised. In this case, exposure to the electrolyte can occur through ingestion, inhalation, eye contact and skin contact. Potential Health Effects: If the battery or cell has been damaged or ruptured, the electrolyte solution, which is corrosive, could be released and cause burns to the eyes, skin or respiratory tract. Ingestion of the electrolyte can cause serious burns of the gastrointestinal tract. Section IV – First Aid Measures If you get electrolyte in your eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes without rubbing and immediately contact a physician.
