I will have to go check the date on the Libby app. I did try earlier this fall or late last summer, like first part of September or end of August? And it wasn’t accessible. It was just a bad experience. But then, I haven’t had the best luck with OverDrive either. At this point, I can’t remember what the issues were, but they were sufficient to just show of the whole business. Mary
