Upcoming OverDrive and Libby changes
Over the next few months, there will be a few small changes to how you access OverDrive and Libby.
No need to panic – your favourite eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines will still be available!
Read on to discover what changes are happening and what you need to do.
The OverDrive and Libby login process is changing
A change is coming with the OverDrive and Libby login process in the coming months. This change will mean you will need more than just a barcode to sign into OverDrive and Libby - you will need to use your library barcode and the PIN/password you use to log into your Auckland Libraries account.
You can get ready for this change by making sure you know your library login details and how to log into your Auckland Libraries account.
Don’t remember your login details? No problem! You can easily reset your PIN/password on our website. All you need is your library card barcode number.
If you’ve never had a PIN/password or you’re having trouble resetting it, contact your local library or fill out an enquiry form.
The exact date of this change is still being confirmed - keep an eye on this page for updates.
It’s time to switch to the Libby app
The OverDrive app will be discontinued in early 2023. To continue reading and browsing eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines on your device via an app, you will need to switch to the ‘Libby, by OverDrive’ app.
The Libby app is already fully up-and-running – when you log in with your library account details, all your loans, holds and wish list items will be there waiting for you.
Still need more information? Check out this overview of the changes on the OverDrive website or sign up for a virtual training session run by the team at OverDrive.
When you’re ready, download the Libby app from the App Store or Google Play to your smartphone or tablet.
OverDrive Video is being discontinued
The OverDrive Video collection is being discontinued from 1 September 2022.
