Attention, OverDrive Users: It’s Time to Upgrade to Libby

Switch to Libby

On May 1, 2023, the OverDrive app for iOS, Android, and Windows 8/10 will be discontinued. OverDrive users are encouraged to upgrade to the newer Libby app to browse, check out, and enjoy Orange County Library’s eBooks, audiobooks, and digital magazine collection.

It’s time to give Libby a try!

All your loans, holds, and wish list items on OverDrive 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.
  • Available in multiple languages.
  • Customizable notifications for ready holds, new magazine issues including National Geographic, The New Yorker and more.
  • Extra learning and entertainment resources, like Kanopy, Craftsy, The Great Courses Library Collection and more.

Libby’s web browser format also includes these features and can be accessed here.
