OverDrive/Libby app changes

Overdrive has removed the OverDrive app from the Apple App Store,

Google Play, and Microsoft Store. 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. In addition, if an OverDrive app

user needs to reinstall the app, they can do so from their app store.
