Effective May 1, 2023, the OverDrive app will be discontinued and library patrons will need to switch to the Libby app for all of their e-book and audiobook needs.


OverDrive has been a popular app for many years, allowing users to access their local library's collection of e-books and audiobooks from their mobile device. However, as technology evolves, the team behind OverDrive has decided to shift their focus to the newer, more user-friendly Libby app.


Libby is designed to provide a more streamlined and intuitive experience for users. With its simple interface and easy-to-use features, Libby is the perfect app for library patrons who want to discover and access their favorite books and audiobooks with ease.


If you are currently using the OverDrive app, you will need to switch to Libby. Fortunately, the transition process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few simple steps.


To make the switch to Libby, you will need to download the app to your mobile device and follow the prompts to log in to your library account. If you have already borrowed e-books or audiobooks through OverDrive, your loans and holds will automatically transfer to Libby, so you won't have to worry about losing any of your content.


If you have any questions about switching to Libby, the Libby support team has created a helpful FAQ page to guide you through the process. You can access it by visiting https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/switch-to-libby-faqs.htm.


In conclusion, while it may be sad to say goodbye to the OverDrive app, the Libby app provides a more modern and user-friendly experience for library patrons. By making the switch today, you can ensure that you continue to have access to your favorite e-books and audiobooks without interruption.
