OverDrive announced last week at their Digipalooza conference that they will be sunsetting the OverDrive app.
From OverDrive:
For the first step, we will remove the OverDrive app from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store in February 2022.
How this initial change will impact users
As a part of the 2020 WPLC recommendations, a list of resources have been compiled to help both Advantage and consortium selectors. The page is now live and can be found here: https://wplc.info/selectorresources or under the "For Libraries" tab on the WPLC website.
The WPLC Digital Library Steering Committee met last week and voted to offer audiobook checkouts for loan at 21 days. Previously, audiobooks were only available to checkout 7 or 14 days on Wisconsin's Digital Library.
Now patrons have the option to check them out for 7, 14, or 21 days! The Committee hopes this will help with users being able to complete audiobooks and not having to renew or put back on hold to finish the books.
