Dayton Overdrive (2025)

FAQs

Why is OverDrive shutting down? ›

The idea behind ceasing development and shutting down OverDrive is to shift the focus of the company's development teams to just Libby, according to the company.

Discontinuing the OverDrive app allows our development teams to focus their efforts on Libby. We also want to make it as easy a possible to promote your digital library to your users.

As of May 1, 2023, the OverDrive app will be discontinued.

If you are using the OverDrive app on a Kindle Fire, you can continue to do so, while OverDrive works to make their Libby app compatible with the Kindle Fire.

Libby is built by OverDrive, who also developed the legacy OverDrive app. Libby features the same free digital content from your library that you may have enjoyed in the OverDrive app. However, Libby was designed to make finding, borrowing, and enjoying free digital titles easier than ever.

Can I still use the OverDrive website? Yes, you can continue to browse, borrow, and enjoy titles from the library's OverDrive website. Can I sync my OverDrive wish list(s) to the Libby app? Yes.

What is the new app for OverDrive? ›

If you previously used the OverDrive app, it's time to switch to Libby! To get started, simply download the Libby app, find your library, and sign in. Your loans, holds and wish list items will be waiting for you when you get there.

You can view a map of nearby libraries, or search for a library by name or location. From there, you can get a link to your library's OverDrive website. If you still can't find your library's OverDrive collection, contact your library and ask them how to access the collection.
