| OverDrive Announces Changes to its Classic eBooks Mobile AppDo you read library eBooks and eAudiobooks with the OverDrive mobile app? OverDrive has reported that it will be fully disabling its classic app in early 2023, and only offering Libby, their newer mobile app.
Now's the time to give Libby a try! It's synced with OverDrive so that all your loans, holds, and wish list items will be waiting for you in Libby when you add your County of SLO Public Libraries card.
