OverDrive is a digital collection of ebooks that includes popular reading, literature, academic, children's literature, and technical content. 

Users can access the UARK OverDrive digital library using the Libby app on their phone, tablet, or computer. Users can download Libby on:

  • iOS 10+ (get it from the Apple App Store)
  • Android 5.0+ (get it on Google Play)
  • Fire OS 5+ (get it directly from OverDrive, the developers of Libby--see link below)

Users with a Windows computer, Mac computer, or a Chromebook can use Libby in a web browser at libbyapp.com. We suggest using the latest version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. For a complete list of supported ereaders, see the link below.

Users can also send borrowed ebooks to Kindle (U.S. only) or download and transfer them to supported ereaders, which include Kobo, Adobe Digital Editions, Nook, Pocketbook, and Tolino. See below link for more information on compatible ereaders.
