Wish List Syncing
Based on popular requests, Libby now supports wish list syncing with the OverDrive app and your library’s OverDrive website.
- If you have active wish lists, you'll be prompted in Libby to sync your wish list titles into a single tag.
Notify Me and Other Tag Enhancements
- New! Notify Me: Series tag. This will send push or email notifications when the next issue of a magazine is available. OverDrive continues to work on more notification options when content is added.
- Automatic tag syncing across devices.
- Automatic tagging of borrowed and sampled titles.
Search Improvements for Users with Multiple Library Cards
Are you a power user with library cards from multiple libraries?
- Tap the library card icon next to a title in search results to see if it’s available at their other saved libraries.
Help
