UPDATE - LIBBY

Submitted by Jeff Fisher

OverDrive has indicated that the timeline for the sunset of the OverDrive app continues to be early 2023. This sunset will occur once updates and improvements to Libby have been finalized.

After this sunset, the OverDrive app will no longer function. Please continue to migrate patrons to the Libby app for eBooks and eAudiobooks.  

As per information from OverDrive, 80% of October checkouts were from Libby as opposed to the OverDrive app or other methods. 90% of electronic checkouts by Bookmobile patrons were from Libby.  

During the last 90 days, over 4,100 unique patrons were those who have only ever used Libby.  Approximately 1,200 patrons were those who had once used the OverDrive app, but never used it again after using Libby. A further 1,100 patrons were those who had used Libby and the OverDrive app back and forth, but used Libby for their three most recent checkouts.
