Libby/Overdrive Update
Warrnambool Library’s eBook and eAudiobook OverDrive collection in Libby will move to a new shared consortium Digital Library on Tuesday 8 October 2024.
Under our partnership arrangement with Yarra Plenty Regional Library Corporation (YPRL), Warrnambool Library and Learning Centre have entered into an agreement with Your Library (YL) and Whitehorse Manningham Libraries (WML) to share the respective OverDrive eBook & eAudiobook collections.
All existing OverDrive/Libby users will need to log into the newly created consortium, selecting Warrnambool Library, to continue using the collection with their library card number and password.
FAQ’s
Why?
Warrnambool Library and Learning Centre members will have access to over 127,000 OverDrive eBook and eAudiobook titles held by the participating library services. This represents an increase of over 450% compared to the YPRL collection which Warrnambool Library customers currently access, so this is a fantastic outcome for our members.
What will happen?
To facilitate the transition, all Libby users will be logged out of their accounts on 8 October. The bigger collection will automatically be available when they log back in.
Borrowers may need to reset their Warrnambool Library pin/password if they are unable to remember it. Following a password reset, users may need to update their login to other digital services (like BorrowBox and Kanopy).
What will happen to current loans/history/hold queues/wish list?
Borrowers will not lose current loans or position in hold queue.
Borrower history is device specific, so long as they are accessing the consortium via their usual device, history and Wish list will remain.
