Instructions
Getting Started
OverDrive Website Instructions - With the sunset of the OverDrive app this Spring, there are also changes coming to the OverDrive website, primarily the Recommend to Library feature. There will be new features in the Libby app to replace this. Importantly, you will still be able to use the OverDrive website for the foreseable future if you prefer it. You can learn more about switching to the Libby app here: Making the Switch to Libby.
