ALERT: Changes to the Sunflower Library access.
Changes have been made to the apps that access the Sunflower E-Library that allow patrons of the Graham County Public Library to borrow eBooks and audiobooks free of charge. Some of the changes include:
Overdrive app will be retired in December 2022. It will only support and update the Libby app.
The Overdrive app will be removed from all app stores in February 2022.
From February to December, the Overdrive app will continue to be functional, but users are encouraged to transfer their content to the Libby app.
Currently all Apple devices must have a version iOS 10 or above while Androids need 5.0 or above to run the Libby app. If you are experiencing problems with your apple device, this may be the cause.
If you have a windows computer, Mac computer or a Chromebook, you can use Libby in your web browser at libbyapp.com. We suggest using the latest version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.
Please contact the library staff at (795) 421-2722 to answer your questions.
We still have MANY used books, DVD’s and Audio books for sale by donation! Come in and take a look. We will unfortunately have to take some to recycling in order to make more room.
