Libby no longer works on iOS 9 and older iOS versions.

Patrons with older Apple devices may be unable to use the Libby App or website due to a recent change in iOS web certificate support. As of Sept 30, 2021, there are no longer any security certificates available for iOS 9 and older. As a result, Libby no longer works on iOS 9 and older iOS versions.
 
To access Libby, patrons need to upgrade their Apple devices to iOS 10 or newer. Unfortunately, if the Apple device is not eligible to upgrade beyond iOS 9, the patron will not be able to use Libby on that device. This is true for the web browser version of Libby as well as the app.
 
Patrons who encounter issues or security warnings while trying to use Libby on older Apple devices should upgrade their iOS. The change is due to Apple’s policy so OverDrive cannot take any further actions.
 
Note for patrons who are using the legacy OverDrive for Mac desktop app [the only way to transfer OverDrive audiobooks to iPods] need to stay on version iOS 10 – – the legacy OverDrive for Mac desktop app is only supported on macOS versions 10.12.1 through 10.14.
