This is a quick reminder that from 1 May, the original OverDrive app will be discontinued and replaced with OverDrive’s Libby app. The OverDrive app was removed from app stores in February last year for new downloads.
Need help getting started with Libby? Join us for a one-hour Getting Started with Libby webinar, 10am Thursday 27 April, run by OverDrive for New Zealand libraries.
Can’t attend the session live?
The session will be recorded and emailed to everyone registered 24 hours after the webinar. Please register to receive the recording.
From downloading the app & signing in, to searching & borrowing titles, placing holds, adjusting reading settings, and more, OverDrive’s Libby experts are here to get you started.
Please note, the OverDrive website will remain available — just the original OverDrive app is being retired.
