Have you made the switch to Libby yet? If you’ve been using the OverDrive app to borrow eBooks and audiobooks, you’ll want to download the Libby app soon! Both library apps access the same collection of great eBooks and audiobooks, but Alliance Digital Media Library (ADML) will begin phasing out the OverDrive app in February 2022, making Libby the primary way for users to enjoy the ADML collection. Users can still browse, borrow, and enjoy titles from the library’s OverDrive website and enjoy that content on their devices with Libby.

Reasons you’ll love Libby:

  • 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
  • Improved accessibility features
  • Wish list syncing
  • Push notifications
  • Support for multiple world languages
  • Access to “Extras,” including streaming video services, educational courses, and more
  • Sonos speaker integration
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support

Getting started with Libby is easy. Just download the free app from your app store and sign in with your FDL card to start exploring. Ask a librarian for help if needed. And of course, even more digital content is available through the Axis 360 and hoopla apps and collections.
