Is OverDrive free?
OverDrive is a free service offered by your library or school that lets you borrow digital content (like ebooks and audiobooks) anytime, anywhere. Every OverDrive collection is slightly different because each library or school picks the digital content they want for their users.
Whats the difference between Libby and OverDrive?
Libby is great if you just want to download a book to your Android or iOS phone or tablet. OverDrive is the “classic” app, and is compatible with more devices, including Kindle Fire, Macs, PCs, and Windows mobile devices. It also allows for transfer to MP3 players from computers.
How do I borrow a book on OverDrive?
To borrow the title:
- Go to your Holds page on your library's OverDrive website or in the OverDrive app. You'll need to be signed into the site to get to this page.
- Select Borrow next to the title.
- From there, you can choose a lending period (if available) and a reading format for your title.
Is Libby replacing OverDrive?
In future phases, we will be actively encouraging OverDrive app users to switch to Libby, with a goal of moving most over by the end of 2022.
