Lucky Day

Similar to programs offered by many libraries with their physical collections, Lucky Day delights patrons who find and borrow these special copies of popular titles. These fast-circulating copies have no wait lists, can’t be renewed, and can have shorter lending periods to maximize their impact in your collection. 

Get started with Lucky Day

How does Lucky Day work?


You can designate copies of titles as Lucky Day in the Curate section of OverDrive Marketplace. Once you’ve added titles to Lucky Day and set them live, you can create Lucky Day lists to highlight those titles in Libby and on your library’s OverDrive website.  

Share this graphic on social media to get the word out to your patrons about your Lucky Day collection!

Watch our how-to video to learn how to select and curate in-demand titles available for shorter lending periods with no holds.

Learn more about this feature and how to make sure your patrons know that it’s their Lucky Day!  ☘️
