Libby (OverDrive)
With OverDrive’s Libby app, you can download thousands of free eBooks and audiobooks, including fiction and nonfiction bestsellers. Note on magazines (April 1, 2021): OverDrive has acquired RBdigital and transferred magazine titles from RBdigital to the Libby/OverDrive platform. That means you can now check out magazines in Libby or OverDrive. OverDrive’s Libby app is recommended because it is especially easy to use, but you can use the OverDrive app if you prefer.
