Libby Replacing OverDrive App for Listen Up! Vermont
Scott Davis
Beginning February 23, 2022, Libby will replace the OverDrive app as the primary app for the Listen Up! Vermont Digital Library.
New users who search for “Libby,” “OverDrive,” or other related keywords in the app stores will find only Libby. Existing OverDrive app users won’t be affected by this change. They can continue borrowing and downloading content in the OverDrive app.
Kindle and E-Reader users and others will still be able to access the Overdrive website: www.overdrive.com for book and audiobook selections. Users can still browse, borrow, and enjoy titles from the OverDrive website.
Benefits of Libby:
Ease of set-up, follow a set of prompts
Unified bookshelf, patrons can view items downloaded from various devices
Support for multiple library cards
Access to direct user support
User can set up notification preferences for available requests and expiration warnings
Extras offer direct access to Kanopy a video streaming service provided by the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum and suggested books through curated booklists.
***Listen Up Vermont does not provide magazine access at this time.
