Dearborn Public Library
Switching to Libby
The OverDrive app will be discontinued in early 2023, so if you’re still using it, now is the time to switch to the Libby app! Some things to know:
- This is a change that OverDrive the company decided on, and it is beyond the library’s control. OverDrive is focusing their efforts on Libby, a newer app, for a better reading and listening experience.
- Libby is in the process of being approved for the app store on Kindle Fire, but is not available there yet. In the meantime, Libby can be side-loaded to a Kindle Fire. More info: https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby/kindlefire
- You can sync your wish list from the Overdrive app with the Libby app. More info: https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6024.htm
- The library’s Overdrive website will stay the same.
- Currently there is no way to recommend titles in Libby like there is on the Overdrive app, but a solution is in the works. You can still recommend titles through the website.
- If you need help getting started with Libby, ask at any library information desk or visit Tech Time at Henry Ford Centennial Library on Fridays, 2-4 pm.
