Overdrive
Rolls Out New App for Streamlined Reading Experience
Meet Libby: the fastest way to reading happiness
The
United States currently has 160 million people who don’t yet know about all the
goodness libraries have to offer. To enlighten these potential library users
about the wonderment of reading, OverDrive has introduced a new way to find and
engage with their local library. Libby,
the new one-tap reading app built by OverDrive, is the quickest and easiest way
to get started reading and discovering digital library content from anywhere in
the world.
Libby
was designed based on guidance from librarians and the feedback of thousands of
beta users to provide a reading experience perfect for all users. At the same
time, Libby makes bringing new users to the library a snap through its
intuitive and simple interface. By bringing in new users, libraries will be
able to reach more of their community and introduce them to more valuable
programs and free online services everyday.
Features
users will love
Libby
was engineered to create a simple, unique reading experience for users of all
ages and to represent how librarians bring readers and books together. With
Libby, readers are always one tap away from the library, their bookshelf and
the books they’re reading (or listening to!). They have the option to download
titles for online and offline reading or stream them to save space. Libby
remembers a reader’s place in the book as well as notes and bookmarks across
devices.
OverDrive’s
best-in-class technology also enables Libby to present any ebook or audiobook
in a simple, beautiful format regardless if the title is a novel, comic or
graphic novel, reference material, cookbook or Read-Along. Thanks to Libby’s
powerful curation and filtering tools, local librarians can make
recommendations specifically for their communities to make sure users are
always just moments away from their next great reading adventure.

page for them as well. Our team will be at ALA demo’ing Libby to library
partners all weekend long, so if you’re attending, be sure to stop by booth
