OverDrive aims to provide a digital library service that's the most innovative and easy to use. To do this, we created Libby, our award-winning and free-to-download reading app designed especially for first-time library users. In just a few taps, your users can:

  • Start reading or listening to books from your customized digital collection – anytime, anywhere
  • Enjoy selections from our expansive catalogue of Kiwi authors and publishers, in addition to international bestsellers and classics

And with all our content on one platform and our extensive support service, your digital offering couldn’t be easier to manage.
