Thousands of Johannesburg library users have lost access to the citys Libby e-book and audiobook service after the licence for the platform expired, leaving readers who relied on the app searching for alternatives.
Libby, operated by OverDrive, allowed registered City of Johannesburg library members to borrow digital books and audiobooks free of charge.
City spokesperson Nthatisi Modingoane said the service had been affected because OverDrive is a licensed product funded by the city.
