Notice:
The Economist will no longer be available starting February 1, 2023. The last issue will be the January 28 edition and all back issues will be removed on February 1. The Economist has updated its lending model and is no longer compatible with how magazines are made available through OverDrive and our app, Libby. We apologize for the inconvenience and invite you to access The Economist through ProQuest Central.

Notice: The legacy OverDrive app is no longer available for new downloads, and will be retired April 2023. Customers using this app should switch to the Libby app in preparation.

OverDrive is our most popular eBook and eAudiobook platform. All you need to get started is your library card and an internet connection. Download the Libby App for a simple and easy experience downloading eBooks and eAudiobooks for free.

Cap:

Each library member receives 10 check outs and 10 holds at any one time.

  • Try the online Libby app at libbyapp.com
  • Customers experiencing issues with Libby may need to update their mobile device’s operating system. Libby is compatible with iOS 10+ and Android 5+
  • OverDrive eBooks are compatible with Kobo eReaders. Please see more info here.
