## Background: OverDrive and the Libra H2O model

The Kobo Libra H2O is a discontinued Rakuten Kobo model that is [still supported by Kobo.](https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019690433-Products-no-longer-manufactured-or-supported-by-Kobo)

OverDrive is a digital platform that distributes library content to e-readers. Using OverDrive, you can directly access your library account on the Libra H2O and other e-readers. OverDrive also makes the Libby app, which [replaced the OverDrive platform functionality](https://company.overdrive.com/2021/08/09/important-update-regarding-libby-and-the-overdrive-app/) on some Kobo models in 2023. However, OverDrive (not Libby) is still the only way to connect to your library directly from the Libra H2O model without using the Kobo iOS or Android app. Unlike newer Kobo e-readers, OverDrive is built directly into the Kobo Libra H2O so it’s not impacted by the Libby update. You aren’t able to download Libby or any other app directly onto the Libra H2O.

### Switching OverDrive accounts

You might have multiple OverDrive accounts with different library systems. This might be the case if you’re a student and have library accounts with your school and your town. It’s also common to have multiple accounts if you reside in multiple places over the course of a year or have recently moved. When you’re using the Libra H2O model, you can only be logged into a single OverDrive account at any given time, but you can manually switch between accounts.

1. You might not need to do anything to get a book you checked out to appear on your Libra H2O. Automatic sync is on by default, so when you turn on your device, it syncs to your library account automatically. However, the device often requires an additional manual sync to download books you checked out on your library account.

To check out a suggested book, click on the book. Note that the default option is to buy the book from the Kobo catalog, not check it out from the library. Select the **** option to open an additional menu and then borrow the book from your library. If the book is available to check out, it will be checked out and added to your books. If it isn’t, you will have an option to place a library hold.
