Libby Push Notifications

Other notes:

  • Notifications are device-specific, so readers can set their notification preferences for each device they use Libby on.
  • After swiping a push notification, a reader will be taken to their Reading Journey for that title, which displays any previous interactions and activity the user had with that book (notes, highlights, time read, etc.).
  • Readers on devices that don’t support push notifications (or where they’re disabled) can opt to receive notifications via email or in the Libby menu.
  • Along with a new Manage Notifications section, OverDrive has refreshed and simplified the Libby menu.
  • To enjoy notifications and other app improvements, be sure to install the latest update for Libby from your device’s app store.
  • Visit Libby Help for more information about notifications and other Libby features.

I've been at the library for more than 10 years now, and I still find joy when choosing the best books for our readers. My current reading journey is taking me book by book through different genres. I'm challenging myself to find books that are enough outside my wheelhouse that I'd pass them by on first glance. The genre I'm looking forward to... more

  • Dating Dr. Dil

    by Nisha Sharma


    Nisha Sharma's hilarious new romantic comedy inspired by The Taming of the Shrew features a love-phobic TV doctor, who must convince a love-obsessed homebody they are destined to be together. Kareena Mann dreams of having a love story like her parents, but she prefers restoring her classic car to swiping right on dating apps. When her father announces he's selling her mother's home, Kareena makes a deal with him: he'll gift her the house if she can get engaged in four months. Her search for her soulmate becomes impossible, when her argument with Dr. Prem Verma, host of The Dr. Dil Show, goes viral. Now, the only man in her life is the one she doesn't want. Dr. Prem Verma is dedicated to building a local community health center, but he needs to get donors with deep pockets. The Dr. Dil Show was doing just that until his argument with Kareena went viral, and he's left short-changed. That's when Kareena's meddling aunties presented him with a solution: convince Kareena he's her soulmate and they'll fund his clinic. Even though they have conflicting views on love matches and arranged matches, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he begins to believe she's the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. But, for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate.

    I really ate this audiobook up. It is one of those that inspired me do my chores more thoroughly just so I could keep listening. I enjoyed the debates about love marriages versus arranged marriages that Southeast Asian immigrant families must navigate, as well as the love-hate-love-love enemies to lovers trope. The characters were all likeable, and I found myself salivating at the aloo parathas our heroine has for breakfast. Why doesn't IHOP or Denny's offer these on their menu? I'd be there daily. Heads up that there are some profanity and steamy love scenes, if that's not your thing. The female narrator is Soneela Nankani, who also performs in Sonali Dev's Jane Austen-inspired The Rajes series. Worth the listen! -Melody
