Do OverDrive's apps work internationally?

Yes, you should be able to use Libby and Sora (and the OverDrive app, available only for select countriesClosed (Bahrain, China, Egypt, Hong Kong, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic, Taiwan, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen)) while traveling internationally. You'll have access to any titles you downloaded, and you should be able to borrow and download new titles as long as you have an internet connection.

However, to avoid download issues or coverage lapses while traveling, consider borrowing and downloading titles beforehand.

Important notes:

  • Some countries block certain types of internet traffic, including library downloads. In these rare cases, OverDrive has no control over the restriction.
  • If you use the OverDrive app to download digital rights management (DRM)-protected ebooks while traveling, please make sure to set your device's date, time, and time zone to your current location. If your device settings don't match your location, you might get an error.
