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.
I love everything about this book: a girl setting monster traps, playfully skippy rhyme scheme, and a twist ending. It has bedtime themes without forcing the "go to sleep" issue in your toddler's face, too. My 2yo son sits rapt each time we read it. Definitely recommend! -Melody
