OverDrive E-Book App Shutting Down May 1st, Users Scramble for Alternatives

The closure is part of OverDrive’s endeavour to transition the bulk of its customers to its newer Libby app. The two services have coexisted since Overdrive launched Libby in 2017, albeit there’s no need to use the older app. Libby has a few things that OverDrive doesn’t, most notably support for multiple library cards, a single bookshelf for all your loans and holds, and Apple CarPlay integration.
