Apps for Phones and Devices: Overdrive and Libby
Apps for Phones and Devices: Overdrive and Libby
You can use Libby on all devices, except for Kindle Fire. Libby is easy to use. I highly recommend trying out the Libby app!
If you’re reading on a Kindle Fire, you must use the Overdrive app. It’s a little more intimidating, but it can be done. Once you get it set up, it’s easy from there.
To get either app, go to overdrive.com.
If you have issues or you can’t get into your account, or if there’s a block for some reason, call the library. We’ll be happy to help you.
