Do you use the Overdrive app to enjoy the library’s downloadable ebooks and audiobooks? It’s time to make the switch to the Libby app. The Overdrive app will be discontinued in early 2023, so the library has scheduled drop-in sessions where you can bring your device and get help transitioning to the Libby app. We’ll show you how to log in; check out books; download them to your device; place holds; and more. Sessions will be held Jan. 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Jan. 18 from 4-6 p.m.; and Jan. 24 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The library will be closed Jan. 14-Jan. 16 in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We will reopen at 10 a.m. Jan. 17.
