The book gets dropped into a folder and app: Adobe Digital Editions(app) & My Digital Editions (sub folder of Documents folder). And there it sits, until I select 'get books' in Calibre where Calibre gets it and I can then manage all the metadata that I like to have as part of my library, before I import a book to my ereaders.
Does Libby do the same? Where does it put the book when I check it out from the library? I am not the least bit interested, just yet, of reading the book in my browser window or on my telephone.
I read an article today that said on 1 May 2023 Overdrive will be turned off. If it was turned off then I guess I never really used Overdrive. Instead I was really using only Adobe while thinking it was Overdrive doing all the work. If that's the case, I was grossly wrong, and probably have no reason to be concerned about it.

I believe if you use Libby's "Manage loan->Read With->Epub" it will behave the same as the Overdrive site, as far as downloading the ACSM, ...
Good luck
