Overdrive and Libby will remember where you stopped reading or listening, so when you get the book back, you can pick up where you left off! You can make bookmarks and notes and read on any type of device, although some versions may not be available to certain types. Books have due dates and need to be placed on hold again or renewed if you haven’t finished them. These e-materials function similarly to physical library books – the library owns a certain number of copies, so there may be a wait to get the book you want. Just be warned, if you are currently using Overdrive and decide to switch to Libby, your holds will not carry over and vice versa! Both of these services allow you to check out e-books, audiobooks, magazines, and videos. Libby is, in my opinion, a bit easier to use, so I recommend that one. Overdrive and Libby are basically the same service, but have different interfaces and apps to download. They both let you check out e-books and audiobooks from home (or even on vacation)! Both of these services are excellent and we often get asked about the difference between them. The Lynnfield Library has a lot of amazing online services and we love to tell you about them! Our two most popular services are hoopla and Overdrive/Libby and for good reason.
