OverDrive app update

Starting the week of July 25, the message on the right will be displayed to your users in the OverDrive app. Later this year, this in-app message will be updated to remind your users about this change.

Use the following resources to help your library and users through this transition:

For library staff:

Bookmark this Resource Center page for helpful FAQs, a preparation checklist, and staff training materials.
Use this marketing kit to help get the word out to your staff and community.
Register for a live Q&A session with members of team OverDrive on June 22. If you are not able to join live, you can still register to get a link to the recording.

For users:

In-app messaging will link users to this overview page for more information, FAQs, and helpful video tutorials.
How-to videos on Libby Help walk users through how to use the app.
Beginning in August, your users can sign up for virtual training sessions hosted by team OverDrive.
While Amazon has not yet accepted our submission of the Libby app to the Amazon Appstore, Kindle Fire users can now download the app onto their device manually. These steps are also linked to from https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby.
