*Reminder: OverDrive will be retiring their classic app at the beginning of 2023 and moving users over to their Libby app. Existing users of the classic app will be able to continue using it until the start of the new year. The app was removed from the Apple App Store, Google Play and Microsoft Store in February 2022. Access to the McGill OverDrive website will continue without change. We are inviting the McGill community to make the change to Libby now and take advantage of its new interface. McGill Library OverDrive collections can already be borrowed and viewed using Libby and multiple libraries (for example, your local public library) can be added.
