This is incorrect. Stark’s eCard gets you access to The Ohio Digital Library. That library uses Overdrive. I’ve had Stark eCard since 7/19. I chose it specifically because it has Overdrive access with a large catalog since I have Kindle. Last edited by tubemonkey; 07-29-2022 at 06:08 AM. Reason: oversized image |

Libby is an Overdrive app. It handles ePub and audiobooks. Stark is not switching from Overdrive to Libby. What they are doing is switching from the Overdrive app to Libby. I'm guessing that the Overdrive app may no longer work.

For example, I can use my BPL (Boston) card with CW Mars. I do not get a CW Mars card. |

You can easily add Stark library to your Libby by just finding the library, signing in with your barcode and pin, and voila! (Note: you must do this after you have paid the $30 fee)
As for adding the library to your Kobo, I did the following:
I tried to circumvent this and login with my Overdrive credentials on https://ohdbks.overdrive.com/ohdbks-starkcounty/content but it would not let me. This is the only way I figured to do it. Note that I did this on one Kobo and then my other Kobo had access to the Stark library as well after sync! |

The other week my daughter said she'd recommended the OverDrive app to a friend who said she couldn't find it. I didn't think anything of the comment until I opened my app yesterday to add two more MD counties in my OverDrive app and saw a pop up message that the OverDrive app would be going away. Maryland's digital content has evolved since I first begun to use it. Once upon a time the digital content for all counties was all under the "Maryland Digital eLibrary Consortium", then it seems various counties broke off from that so that the electronic media they were acquiring was more specific to what the county's patrons were requesting. Hoopla has no ebooks in my county, but another county has a decent supply of audiobooks and ebooks in Hoopla. I added a library card to that county a while ago, just for Hoopla. Yesterday I added that county to my OverDrive app, and two more counties. I'm preparing for the demise of my Brooklyn access. LOL One of these days I'll download the Libby app. Last edited by copyrite; 07-29-2022 at 07:23 AM. |

Reciprocal borrowing also means an agreement between two library systems that allows patrons of one library to get a card from the other library and vice versa. Without that card, you can't check out books from the other library. |

The Library Extension for Chrome is very helpful with availability and guestimates when titles are available. As you can see, there's no wait time for Hoopla. Only drawback is having to read / listen through the app, and not on my Kindle. I need to update the app with a couple more MD libraries where I have OverDrive access since content is not the same across the state. |

I did use the library extension for Firefox. But I fount it really annoying because it kept being there even when I didn't want it.
