OverDrive is now Libby
Have you made the move to Libby? If you are an OverDrive app user, you’ll want to start thinking about making the switch to Libby.
For years, OverDrive has maintained two apps — the legacy OverDrive app and the newer Libby app. Libby was developed as a more user-friendly interface, and the company has spent a lot of time further developing it to enhance user experience and add new features. The plan was always to sunset the legacy app, and now the time has come.
If you enjoy reading using the OverDrive app, you’ll love Libby. Libby offers the same great collections as OverDrive but more features, including:
Easy onboarding for new users
A unified bookshelf for all loans and holds
Support for multiple library cards
Direct user support from OverDrive
Best-in-class ebook reader and audiobook player
Wish list syncing
Push notifications
Support for multiple world languages
Sonos speaker integration
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support
And More!
The OverDrive legacy app is no longer available from the Apple Store, Google Play, and the Microsoft Store, but existing users of OverDrive are still able to access and use the app and its content. However, they are being asked to transition to Libby by the end of 2022. Just like the legacy app, Libby is free and available for download from all of your favorite app stores. Borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines to read on your phone or tablet using the Libby app by OverDrive. You can even send and read your borrowed eBooks to your Kindle eReader (U.S. only).
