Goodbye, Overdrive App, Hello, Libby!

In follow-up to previous announcements, effective today, the legacy OverDrive app is no longer available to download from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Microsoft store.*
Users who have the OverDrive app (mobile or desktop) installed will still be able to use it without disruption. All users can continue to access RML's OverDrive website.
Please switch over the Libby app. https://libbyapp.com/library/cwmars
