Introducing Libby at WCDPL |
We’ve introduced you to a lot of digital services over the years. Who remembers Freegal or Content Reserve? Names have changed, apps have improved, and now we are introducing Libby for WCDPL.
Libby for WCDPL is the same digital content you've been accessing via the WCDPL OverDrive Collection. We think this new name and new look will make it easier for you to find the eBooks you love with less waiting.
When you open your Libby app, make sure you have both the Ohio Digital Library and Wood County District Public Library listed under Your Libraries. If it isn’t there, tap "Add Library" and select WCDPL. And now you will have access to Libby for WCDPL! If WCDPL is already listed on your app, no need to make any changes.
Need help finding the buttons? Call us at (419) 352-5050 or visit us the second floor of the Bowling Green Library for help. Starting browsing Libby for WCDPL at wcdpl.overdrive.com
