 downloading tips and advice

Updated on May 31, 2023

The  Dunbarton Public Library is pleased to offer Downloadable Books to our patrons. 
This service is provided by OverDrive Media and sponsored by the New Hampshire State Library.


To use this service you will need 
a Valid Library Card and PIN number.  Please note: if your library card has expired (they are good for 2 years), or if you have overdue materials or outstanding fines, you will not be able to sign into NHDB until the problem has been cleared with the library.

Libby is the new app released by OverDrive.   It has the same collection of titles as the classic OverDrive app – it’s just a different way to access the same digital library collection. The old Overdrive app was removed from all app stores on 2/23/22.
Libby is compatible with Android and iOS devices.  Libby is great if you just want to download a book to your Android or iOS phone or tablet. We find it very simple! Info HERE

Great news!! NEW!!!
How to install the Libby app on your Kindle Fire tablet


Libby is now available to download from the Amazon Appstore. Going forward, users with Amazon Fire tablets should download Libby directly from the Amazon Appstore instead of manually sideloading the app.

Additional details:

The OverDrive app will be removed from the Amazon Appstore on June 7, 2023. Fire tablet users who already have the OverDrive app installed can continue to use it for now, but it is no longer in active development. The OverDrive app will display messaging encouraging those with compatible devices to upgrade to Libby.
  • The web page that hosted OverDrive’s Libby APK instructions will redirect users to the Amazon Appstore to download Libby. Users with OverDrive’s Libby APK on their Fire tablet can continue to use that version. If a user would like to switch to the Amazon Appstore version of the app, they can follow these steps. Note: Users who switch from the APK version to the Amazon Appstore version of Libby may lose their Libby timeline activity, search history, and app customizations. They will not lose their loans, holds, or tags.
  • The Kindle Book format remains available to users in the U.S. only.
