Make The Switch: OverDrive App Discontinued May 1

4/21/2023

The OverDrive app will be discontinued on Monday, May 1. Are you ready?

OverDrive announced several months ago that it would discontinue its OverDrive app in favor of its more streamlined Libby app. If you have not made the leap to the Libby app, you will need to this coming week to continue to enjoy free digital e-books, audiobooks and magazines with your Syracuse-Turkey Creek Township Library card.

The Libby app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Once installed, follow its instructions to connect it to your library card. If you run into any problems, Syracuse library staff can assist you.

What If I Use Kindle?

The Libby app is still unavailable in the Amazon app store; however, Kindle users have options.

SEND BOOKS TO YOUR KINDLE: Visit https://idl.overdrive.com/ and sign in. From here, you can send digital e-books to your Kindle.
USE YOUR KINDLE'S WEB BROWSER: In your Kindle's Silk web browser, visit https://libbyapp.com/. You will be able to access the Libby app there. Just sign in following the prompts it gives.

Jo, you should be able to download the Libby app via the Apple App Store. If not, you can also use libbyapp.com in your device's web browser to access Libby. Only Kindle users seem unable to download the Libby app.
