International Games Week kicked off yesterday and we’re celebrating all week long with displays in the library, special posts on social media (check out our Facebook and Instagram pages!), and an exciting game demo of the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game.
International Games Week is an initiative from the American Library Association to show through the libraries around the world the educational, recreational, and social value of all types of games.
It’s the perfect week to check out our wide selection of board games and video games to play with the whole family and make every night family game night!
Overdrive, or the Sunflower eLibrary, is a great way to check out ebooks and audiobooks from the Andover Public Library.
This service is limited, however, to patrons who live in the 67002, 67230, 67206, 67017, 67228 Andover school district zip codes.
The easiest way to use Overdrive and the Sunflower eLibrary on your mobile device is with the Libby app.

Your barcode is the six-digit number from the back of your card and your password is your last name in lowercase letters.
If you have cards at multiple libraries, you can load each card into Libby at the same time.

You are limited to borrowing five items at a time and having up to seven items on hold.

On this screen, you can also read or listen to a book in the app and manage your loan.
11. By selecting “Manage Loan” in the Shelf screen, you can renew your loan, return the loan to the library, send the ebook to your Kindle app, tag the book, and view the title details, including a description of the book.
