What's the new OverDrive, and what features does it have?
The new OverDrive is a completely refreshed website and app experience that makes your digital library faster and easier to use than ever before.
You'll know that you're using the new OverDrive if titles in your library's digital collection look like this:
What's changed?
The new OverDrive is a faster, easier digital library experience. Enhancements include:
Easy-to-customize lending periods
You can still choose your own default lending periods for the digital formats offered by your library.
If you want to extend or shorten a lending period for just one title (without changing the lending period for the whole format), you can now do that before you borrow the title.
"Books" icon takes you right to borrowed titles
Click or tap 
to go right to your Loans page and find all of your borrowed titles.
Kindle reading preference
If you only want to see the Kindle Book format for borrowed ebooks, you can make Kindle your reading preference. Learn more about the Kindle preference here.
Note: Kindle Books are currently available for U.S. libraries only.
A history of what you've borrowed
Your History page (under ) automatically lists the titles you borrow.
You can also manually add titles to, or remove them from, your history. For example, you can add a print book you read, or remove an audiobook you didn't finish.
Learn more about the history here.
Improvements to placing and retrieving holds
You can see approximate wait times on title details pages (before you place a hold) and on your Holds page (after you place a hold).
After you've placed your first hold, we'll remember your email address, and you won't be prompted for it again when you place holds in the future. This way, you can place holds in just one click. You can always edit your email address(es) for hold notifications if you'd like to use a different address.
Changes to the renewal process
Renewing now extends your lending period for a title (instead of allowing you to borrow it again when it expires). As long as there are no holds, you can select Renew for a title on your Loans page (under ) up to three days before it expires. If the title has holds, you'll be able to select Request again instead to join the title's wait list.
