After April 15, users with devices running Android OS 7.1.0 or earlier will be required to update their operating system or switch to another supported device to continue using OverDrive services. Starting the week of March 25, impacted Libby users will see a message to update their OS or switch to another supported device to continue using the app. This message will include steps for how to use a setup code to easily copy their library cards, loans, holds, and tags to another device.
In an email announcing this change, Overdrive stated, "We apologize for the inconvenience this will have on users with impacted devices. This change is necessary to uphold OverDrive’s standards of security and patron privacy and our commitment to delivering a quality experience to all libraries and their users." The same email noted that usage on Android OS 7.1.0 and earlier has been declining and accounts for approximately 1.5% of all OverDrive users, with Libby users being the most impacted. Note that Google has also discontinued support for these earlier versions of the Android OS.

The seed library has returned to the Syracuse Public Library. Each family can “check out” up to 10 seed packets. While packets are checked out, there’s no need to return them. Those without library cards can also check out packets. This year’s seed library features several packets donated by Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds out of Mansfield, Mo. There is a good variety of vegetables, melons, herbs and flowers to enjoy. Those who check out the seeds are encouraged to share photos of their garden with the library. Send them to SPL’s communications specialist, Sarah Wright, at [email protected], and she will share them on the library’s social media pages. |
