Update on the OverDrive & Libby apps
Attention, OverDrive app users! OverDrive is discontinuing the legacy OverDrive app in early 2023 and transitioning users to the Libby app. Libby is OverDrive’s newer app for browsing and enjoying digital content from our library.
It’s time to give Libby a try! All your loans, holds, and wish list items will be waiting for you in Libby when you add your library card.
Libby also comes with new features we know you’ll love, like:
- Tags to categorize books however you’d like—you can even sync your OverDrive wish list into a tag!
- A central bookshelf for all loans and holds
- Customizable notifications for ready holds
- Compatibility with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sonos speakers
BOOktacular at Hanson Park!
Come enjoy our latest Story Walk at Hanson Park. Tuesday, October 4th from 6:30 – 8:30. It’ll be creepy and fun! We’ll also have Trunk or Treat with our city vehicles.
