Current users of the OverDrive app

- Current OverDrive app users can continue to use it, but there will no longer be any updates which may impact functionality over time.
- Overdrive borrowing on Kobo ereaders will continue to work the same.
- All users can access OverDrive through a web browser and recommend titles for purchase through the Overdrive website.
- If you are a current OverDrive app user, we recommend you check out the Libby app today. It is fun, easy-to-use, and you will find all your Overdrive checkouts and holds there waiting for you.
