Meet Libby!

The original OverDrive app will be removed from app stores in February 2022. Download Libby and continue to borrow ebooks, audiobooks and more from JPL!

Already have OverDrive? Users can still use the original app until December 2022, and will be notified when to migrate over to Libby. Ask a library staff member if you have questions or need assistance with the Libby app.
