OverDrive for libraries???

We want to borrow audio books from our local library. Library says log into the above and then we can get books downloaded onto an iphone.
So we go to the site, register and sign in but then have to state which library, lots listed but ours is not! No Gainsborough Library, no Lincolnshire Library in the extensive list.
I have tried to message OverDrive but cannot find an address, Sent a message via Facebook but no reply.
Anyone else had this problem? Can anyone help us move forward?

    Contact your local council/library perhaps, or post a link to where you found the information.

    There is no mention of Overdrive anywhere on this page.

    If you don't have an account, I suggest you access Lincolnshire C.C. and find Libraries, register. Here in Louth we have had EBooks for some years now, I believe it's the same for all Lincolnshire libraries.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
