On February 1, OverDrive (the company that runs the Libby app) removed all copies of The Economist from our digital collections. OverDrive made this decision due to a change in how long The Economist's publisher was willing to have an issue checked out (24 hours). OverDrive did not want to work with this change and decided to pull the title from their offerings rather than meet the demands of the publisher.
The Economist is one of our most-loved and widely read digital magazines. We share your disappointment about this change.
Librarians love it when prominent people publicize their "best of" book lists. Former President Barack Obama is an avid sports fan, and the basketball biography from Andre Igoudala made the President's Best of 2019 list. Igoudala's life story is thoughtful and inspiring. The whole list is impressive, too. Find it on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/B6oYKxAgCn7/ -Melody
