The Economist on Libby and OverDrive

Posted by Melody on Sunday, Feb 5, 2023

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.

    When a Princess learns from her Fairy Godmother that she is in last place in a car race against such fairy tale notables as Humpty Dumpty, the Three Bears, and Rumpelstiltskin, she boldly rebuffs defeat and steps on the gas.

    We checked out this book 3 days ago and already have we read it about 15 times. My kiddo loves cars and racing, and this book does a great job with balancing exciting cool illustrations with what my kid actually wants to hear stories about--racing cars! There's even a lesson worked in, to persevere despite setbacks. I love that this is a book with a female lead character that is also exciting for boys. And after each time we read it, we have to look at all the different cars on the inside of the cover and pick out which one is our favorite. What a fun book. -Melody
