[quote=Anonymous]Public librarian here. Libby is Overdrive’s new(er) app. They have been saying for years that they’re going to stop supporting the original Overdrive app, but my understanding is that it’s finally happening. I have heard that when Libby first came out, Overdrive allowed libraries to turn off the “request purchase” feature, but they are changing that to force libraries to turn it on. I don’t know if that’s true, but you might check back to see if it appears.

You can force Libby to place the hold at your selected library, even if it has a longer wait time. Search for the book, then tap the library card icon that shows which card you’re using. It will show you copies held by all the libraries where you have cards, along with wait times. (This is a great new feature, actually; you used to have to search each catalog separately.)  Choose the one you want and select Place Hold. It will tell you there is a library with a shorter wait time, but it will allow you to place the hold.

If you’re having trouble, stop in at the service desk at your local library. I’m sure they’d be glad to help. [/quote]
