Important message from OverDrive:
We’re excited to take the next step with Libby and make it the primary way to enjoy your digital library. Our goal is to simplify how you talk about your OverDrive service and promote the best reading experience for everyone, Libby.
To achieve this goal, we are winding down the legacy OverDrive app. As a first step, we will remove the OverDrive app from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store on February 23, 2022.
By the end of 2022, we plan to have most OverDrive app users migrated to Libby.
(from blog post here)
What does this mean for you? The OverDrive app is retiring. All OverDrive app users can continue to use the app until further notice, however, it will be removed from all app stores in February 2022. We encourage all OverDrive app users to make the switch to the Libby app as soon as possible to enjoy its easy-to-use platform.
