Happy February everyone- no groundhogs here, they think it's too cold to stick their heads out of the ground.

Rob ran the attached report for me yesterday.

The graphs are consortia wide.

  •  74% checkouts from Libby app
    
  •  15% checkouts from legacy Overdrive app
    
  •  11% checkouts from Overdrive website and other (SORA)
    

I think this is good news ...it means most of our patrons state-wide are using the Libby app rather than the legacy app.

The second page lists the top branches who are using the legacy Overdrive app rather than the Libby app.

If you are in need of marketing materials to help with the transition, there are documents in the resource center in Marketplace. (https://bit.ly/3IRPoNA )

Also- while not Overdrive or Amazon sanctioned, there are work arounds to get the Libby app on a KindleFire. Let me know if you want me to send the instructions one of my staff found online - she's cleaned them up and added screenshots.

Stay warm. Thanks, Kate
