Can someone help me with this update/Library issue?

I borrowed a book from the library using Overdrive and downloaded it to the Kobo Aura One. The book expired yesterday. This morning, on my phone, I opened the OD app and the book was available to borrow again so I did that and it downloaded to my phone.

I wanted to continue reading it on the Kobo, but it was reporting that the book was expired and only gave me the option to buy. I searched here and someone said to sign out of OD on the Kobo and sign back in. That did not work. Syncing did not work. So I restarted my device and it updated itself to whatever the newest version of the software is and that is causing more problems.

Since this update, I have no "Overdrive" option anymore on my Search options on the Kobo. When I try to search for my Library book to try to re-download it, the only thing that shows up in the search results is a sample from the Kobo bookstore and the option to download the sample or buy the book for 12 bucks.

I went into the app on my phone and returned the book figuring that I would eventually find OD on my Kobo and could just re-borrow and download it from the device. No go. There is no Overdrive option. Was the searching via OD taken away on this update? Why the heck would they do that and how do you get Library books to download onto the device now? Clicking the magnifying glass from the home screen gets a search window with Kobo, My Items, Current Read, Annotations, and Dictionary. There is no Overdrive option anywhere. If you type in a random book title and get the Sort By drop down, there is no Overdrive option in there either. If I go into Settings on the device, I am signed into Overdrive on my Kobo.

Am I missing something?
