The Libby App by Overdrive

September 20, 2017 Written by Chestatee Regional Library

We have some exciting news for you!! The Overdrive app has been updated to a smarter, easier, more user-friendly app called Libby and you can download it now!

Choose from thousands of ebooks and audiobooks for free, using just the device in your hand and a valid library card. It takes just a few taps to find and borrow a title. Libby allows you to sign in to multiple libraries, with one or more cards for each library. You can download ebooks and audiobooks for offline reading or stream them to save space. And if you prefer reading on your Kindle, Libby can send your library books to it.

The new Libby app from Overdrive makes the process easy and accessible for anyone. Available for Apple, Android, and Microsoft devices. Visit the website to learn more and try Libby for yourself, or ask a librarian for assistance in getting the Libby app set up and ready to use!
