Libby app to become primary app for Overdrive
As shared last August, the legacy OverDrive app will be removed from app stores on February 23, 2022.
Libby offers many unique features, including easy onboarding to welcome new users, a unified bookshelf for all loans and holds, tags to track wish lists and favorite reads, push notifications, audiobook compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, direct in-app support, and much more.
Starting February 23, 2022:
• The OverDrive app will be removed from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Microsoft store. Download links for the legacy OverDrive desktop app for Windows and Mac will be removed from overdrive.com/apps.
• New users looking for the OverDrive app will be directed to Libby.
• Users who previously installed the OverDrive app (mobile or desktop) will still be able to use it without disruption.
• All users can continue to access your library’s OverDrive website.
Or, visit libbyapp.com in your Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge (Chromium) browser.
Overdrive sunsetting app, migrating to Libby
One of our digital content providers, Overdrive, will be sunsetting the Overdrive App in February 2022. Patrons are encouraged to migrate to the Libby app to continue accessing eBooks, audiobooks and e-magazines.
Automatic Renewal service is now available to all library patrons!
We now offer courtesy Automatic Renewal service to all library patrons!
Eligible items will be automatically renewed on the day (5 AM) that they are due. Their due date will be extended for another loan period.
How will you know if this was done? You can check your account online, or if you are currently signed up for email notifications, we’ll email you a summary of what we were able to renew and what could not be renewed.
Please note that not all items are eligible for this service.
We can’t auto-renew:
- Items that have been requested by other patrons.
- Items that have already reached their renewal limit.
Your library card must also be current, and in good standing.
