I saw a notice in my local library that overdrive cannot will not be available at the end of Feb, 2022; but the installed app can still be used at the library thru the end of the year. Also that Overdrive app won't be available from Amazon, Google or Microsoft store.

The replacement is Libby. When trying to get the Overdrive app at Google, Overdrive was set to download Libby for installation. I guess this is 'important'(?) for new ereader.

Haven't seen anything about it here. So, is this happening to all public libraries? And that all Overdrive users will have to switch to Libby or Hoopla?
