Amazing
Great app! I use it everyday and it’s never let me down. Has saved me a ton of money and space in my house by letting me borrow books instead of buying them. The audio books are amazing and I listen to them whilst I’m driving or doing housework to stay inspired with the current goals in my life. I would highly recommend to everyone weather you want a book in your pocket to read anytime or you need a bit of inspiration to keep you on track with your goals it does it all! You also never have to worry about remembering when things are due back as it does that too. You get notified when items are close to their due date and if you forget it will return them for you. It does so much more but I think this review is long enough already. Happy reading guys!

Is good, but not Don’s.
Writing a review for software enabling reading a library book on your phone/tablet etc. not a big ask really, really? Well yes it’s better than my Kobo experience with it (Kobo) running into a seemingly planned glitch that leaves it useless. Not sure who is to blame for free Adobe software they won’t fix or Kobo’s use of it rendering the hardware useless way too early. Back the subject. This seems to work well, with some small resets occasionally. It would be great if past reads were managed a little better but some would make a deal about big brother. Personally I don’t care who knows what I read or who I call/SMS. If that’s how they wish to spend their days worrying about my quiet life have at it.

Benjamin Franklin would be so proud!
Those that might not know, Benjamin Franklin and friends found the Library Company of Philadelphia, which was the first lending library in America. Therefore, I can say, and genuinely believe, that he would have been very proud of this development if he could possibly have foreseen it. To be able, when dis-abled, to have a full library at my disposal, has been soul-saving. Libraries have been part of my life, all of my life. So, to be without (new) books, without the choice of books, without access easily to books is painful. Now on my pension, buying books and magazines are a luxury. Being visually impaired, having access to audiobooks is another life-changing aspect. I have tried various approaches to being part of a library system, but it was just this year that I was introduced to Libby through my local library.
I can not fully express my respect and appreciation for the development of a software program that makes books and magazines in various formats available to the entire community without the need to physically attend the library itself.* To make choices, to sample (read or listen), to either borrow or be on a wait list, to open the book within the downloaded software, is deeply satisfying. I’m wallowing in the luxury. *I do miss all the other wonderful aspects and services of a physical library. Ask your librarian all about it. Download the app, its all free. You won’t be sorry. Thank you to the developers.
