RB Digital Magazines is moving to Overdrive.

Why did this happen?

Earlier this year, Overdrive was acquired by global investment firm, KKR, who also own RBdigital Magazines. As a result of the acquisition, all of our magazines from RBdigital moved over to OverDrive on February 19, 2021.

Will the titles I enjoy reading in RBdigital still be available on OverDrive?

You’ll still be able to borrow and enjoy all the same great titles that were available from RBdigital on OverDrive, and the Libby app by OverDrive.

What will happen to the RBdigital website and app?

The RBdigital website and app will be retired shortly after the transfer of magazines to OverDrive on February 19, 2021. If you have an e-magazine checked out on RBdigital on this date, you can continue to read it in RBdigital until its due date.

What is the borrowing period for magazines on OverDrive?

You’ll be able to borrow magazines for 7, 14, or 21 days. Magazines can be renewed within 3 days of the end of the lending period.

Will my reading history move to OverDrive?

Unfortunately, your checkout history from RBdigital will not be moved to OverDrive, but you can take note of what you’ve read in the past, in the History section of RBdigital and manually enter the title in OverDrive’s history.

I can only check out 20 items at a time on OverDrive. Will magazines count toward my limit?

All of our e-magazines on OverDrive will be available for unlimited simultaneous use and will not count toward your check out limit. As an added bonus, magazines have no wait lists or holds, so you can enjoy reading them right away.
