What's the difference between Libby and OverDrive?

   

Libby is the updated version of OverDrive! When you access Libby you have access to OverDrive. They are one in the same.

Does my checking out e-books harm the library?

NO! Checking out e-books does not harm the library. E-books that our patrons use are counted in our system as material use. Actually, your e-book checkouts HELP the library! Groves Public Library is affiliated with the Texas State Library Archives and Commission. To meet our maintenance of effort (MOE) we have to meet a certain amount of physical and digital checkouts! YOU are helping us stay accredited!
