great app!

this app is super helpful and pretty easy to use!! sometimes books are a little hard to find or aren’t on the app, but other than that it’s great!

Libby and public libraries

I have been using my public library for as long as I can remember. I am so thankful that I still have the opportunity. It is such a gift. I travel the world and can get any information or help that I might need. Thank you.

Think and grow rich.

Fantastic word forward with my original text book

The bookworm is back

Ever since I discovered Libby, I have been on a reading frenzy. It has rekindled my love with books, as it’s so convenient to carry them everywhere I go through the Libby app.

The best

The most used app in my phone. I love it. Everyone should have this app

Skeptical at first

Like the title, at first I was skeptical but after using it for a while I found that it is quite enjoyable. Sometimes having to wait for a title can be nail biting, but honestly it keeps me grounded, the digital world has made us a little impatient in dealing with the ‘real’ world. I think the only thing I don’t like is that, when listening/reading a series, there are times that one or even more of the books within the series is not available in my Library, while it is available elsewhere (at a cost). As a result, often I won’t check out a book series that isn’t complete, to prevent ‘the let down’ felt when it is discovered.

Fabulous

Easiest way to check out a book. Option to place a hold is great. And it’s all free to users.

Love

My only gripe is that my library doesn’t have enough licenses for audio books. This app truly got me back into loving stories and reading. I’m soooo grateful, it’s an invaluable resource.

Love it. Love it. Love it.

I absolutely adore the easy access to books through this app!

It’s also ADHD friendly since I always forget to return physical books in time, this makes it easier.

The goal is to go between this and local books stores in my area!

Great app

Libby has been a lifesaver! I read constantly, so having instant access to library books at my fingertips is wonderful. Setting up the app and connecting my library cards was easy, and finding the books I want is simple. I love being able to borrow books without making a trip to the library—or worrying about overdue returns.

Curious

I deeply appreciate having access to such a wide range of books, magazines, and audiobooks through this app. It’s an incredible resource made possible thanks to the support of taxpayers and generous donations, and I’m genuinely grateful for that.

As someone who’s naturally curious, I love how easy it is to explore new topics, discover authors I’ve never read, and learn something unexpected every time I open it. I hope this app continues to inspire others to stay curious too—because curiosity is one of the best things we can share.
