Normal ebooks just have an image of the book audiobooks have a headphone icon and say “audio” underneath. If your library has an ebook or electronic audiobook for that title, it’ll appear in the search results. Once you’ve connected to your library or libraries, simply search for a title. I’m actually about to get a third library card for a separate library system, so I’ll enter those details when I have my new card. For example, I have a card for my city library and another card for my county library system, so I’ve entered both in the app. The cool thing about Libby is you can attach multiple cards to the app. You’ll enter your library card number and your PIN (usually the last four digits of your phone number). You’ll hit yes (unless you don’t have one, and then you’ll need to go to your local library to get one), and it will let you search for your library by zip code or guess your library based on your location. Once you open it, the app will ask if you have a library card.

In a nutshell, Libby is a way to download books to your phone or tablet automatically without having to check out physical books or audiobooks from the library.įirst, download Libby from the app store. It’s a newer app released by Overdrive, the original electronic library app, and connects to the Overdrive collection - but I think Libby is more user-friendly. Libby is an app that connects you to your local library’s collection of ebooks and electronic audiobooks. Read on for more details about Libby, how to connect it to your libraries, and how to make the most of it. I have gushed about the Libby app before and how it changed my life, but it’s true! If you are serious about making more time for reading, this app will absolutely help you do that.
