OverDrive is phasing out the original OverDrive app. As a first step, we will remove the OverDrive app from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store in February 2022. By the end of 2022, we plan to have most OverDrive app users migrated to Libby.
OverDrive content is accessible without the Libby app. Use your desktop or laptop web browser with read ebooks or emagazines with OverDrive Read. To listen to audiobooks use OverDrive Listen. Using a web browser requires streaming internet.
A message for iOS users.
