Libby recently updated with search enhancements, a refined navigation bar, a new settings menu, and timeline improvements. Please take a minute to watch this 5-minute video [1] that goes over these changes.
These updates and improvements are part of OverDrive's goal to make Libby the primary app for accessing our digital collection. Nothing is changing right now, but they are working to phase out the OverDrive app by the end of 2022. With that in mind, please continue to recommend Libby to new users whenever you can. The more we can start acclimating our customers to Libby now, the easier the transition will be when the OverDrive app is no longer available. More updates to Libby are expected including accessibility improvements, a way to recommend titles to us to purchase, easier-to-find "lucky day" or "skip the line" collections, and a solution for Kindle Fire users.
Libby has many great selling point already though:
