OverDrive App No Longer Available to Download

2/25/2022

0 Comments

 
Effective February 23, 2021, the legacy OverDrive app is no longer available to download from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Microsoft store. Users who have the OverDrive app (mobile or desktop) installed will still be able to use it without disruption. All users can continue to access your library’s OverDrive website.

Recommended next steps:
  1. Review your library’s website and promotional materials to ensure you’re actively promoting only Libby and no longer referencing the OverDrive app. Reference this page for best practices and examples.
  2. Bookmark this page on the OverDrive Resource Center for an overview of the app sunset plan, FAQs, Libby promotional materials, and more.
  3. Watch this on-demand webinar for practical tips to help your staff and users during this transition.
Borrow ebooks & Audiobooks with Libby
Visit OverDrive.com/apps/Libby to download the Libby app today!
