Libby, by OverDrive

Borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines to read on your phone or tablet using the Libby app by OverDrive. You can even send and read your borrowed ebooks to your Kindle ereader (U.S. only)! It’s free and easy to get started.

Step 1

Download or open Libby on your device:

• iOS devices: Apple App Store
• Android devices: Google Play
• Amazon Fire tablets: Amazon Appstore
• Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks: libbyapp.com

Step 2

In Libby, follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a library card.

Step 3

Browse your library’s catalog, then borrow a book or audiobook or open a magazine.

Your selection will vary based on your library, since each library chooses what titles and formats to offer in Libby.

Step 4

Borrowed titles appear on your Shelf . You’ll also find your magazine subscriptions and kept magazine issues on the Magazine Rack on your Shelf.

Book and audiobook loans are downloaded to the app automatically when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, so you can read them when you’re offline. To save space on your device, magazines don’t automatically download, but you can manually download individual issues.

• Tap loans (at the top of the screen) to only see your book and audiobook loans.
