Library patrons can browse, borrow and enjoy even more digital magazines from Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory through OverDrive and the award-winning Libby reading app. Digital magazines previously available through the RBdigital app will be moved to the Library’s OverDrive service and will also be available through Libby on February 18, 2021. OverDrive, the leading digital reading platform for libraries and schools worldwide and creator of the Libby app, recently acquired RBdigital.

Patrons already enjoying the Libby app will experience no change, other than the addition of magazines. With a valid Library card, members of the community can borrow from the Library’s digital collection through OverDrive or Libby.
Magazines checked out in the RBdigital app will be available through the remainder of the lending period, so readers can finish the title without disruption. Until further notice, readers can continue using the RBdigital app to access Acorn TV.

Readers may browse Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory’s digital collection, instantly borrow titles and start reading or listening for free with a valid Library card. This service is compatible with all major computers and devices, iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phones and tablets and Chromebook™. Through Libby, readers can also “send to Kindle®” [US only]. All titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period and there are no late fees. Readers can also download titles onto Libby for offline use.
