      Requirements for Android Devices as of April 15, 2024

      OverDrive is discontinuing support for Android operating systems (OS) 7.1.0 and earlier. Starting the week of March 25, 2024, impacted Libby users will see a message to update their OS or switch to another supported device to continue using these app. This message will include steps for how to use a setup code to easily copy their library cards, loans, holds, and tags to another device.
