Update: Magazines are now available in Libby and OverDrive! Check one out [1] for yourself and see how it works. Take a look at the article view available only in Libby. Tap "Read the Article" at the bottom of the page to get a version of an article in your preferred font size and lighting that's easier to read than zooming in. See it in action here [2].

On February 3rd, RBdigital magazines will be available to check out in OverDrive and the Libby app. OverDrive acquired RBdigital last year and has been working to get their content consolidated in one place. Support for the RBdigital app will eventually end.

Once magazines are migrated to Libby:

• Customers will be able to check out magazines for up to 21 days.
• Magazines will be always available which means they can be checked out by any customer at any time with no holds or waiting.
• Magazines will not count against OverDrive and Libby's 10-item checkout limit.

Talking Points

• Customers will have one less app and one less place to search for digital content.
• If you already love the ebooks and audiobooks in Libby, now you'll be able to check out popular magazines in the same app at any time.
• Popular titles that will be available:
  • US Weekly
  • Newsweek
  • The New Yorker
  • Rolling Stone
  • HGTV Magazine
  • The Economist
  • Woman's World
  • Good Housekeeping
  • And many many more!
