Since August of 2017, Libby has been Wisconsin's Digital Library preferred app for new users. As of 2020, there is no definitive timeline for when the OverDrive app will be discontinued and developments about Libby will be shared to the WPLC blog and to the WPLC Announcements List.
Libby is currently available for download in the app stores for iOS, Android, and Windows mobile devices. It is currently not available for Kindle tablets through the Amazon app store but will be in the future. In order to prepare our frontline OverDrive support team of librarians across the state, we have also put together some resources to help you support the app.
