OverDrive was a great way for different institutions like schools to make a fully readable eBook catalog online, but the OverDrive team has been trying to replace that app for some time. Now, to force that transition, the old OverDrive app will be gone.

OverDrive is transitioning people from the legacy app to the newer Libby app, with the company’s goal of having most users be without it by the end of last year. You cannot currently download it from online stores like the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. However, if you’ve been keeping it, OverDrive will remove all reservations by May 1, 2023, at which point the app will stop working.

After this date, you must transition to Libby. OverDrive is providing all the help it can to make the transition as smooth as possible, including webinars and training sessions for its users, but in reality, you only have a little over a month before the app is discontinued.

If you’re running an OverDrive library, OverDrive has published a blog post detailing the tools it has to make a smooth transition, which you should probably check out to keep things running smoothly.
