Love it

I love this app cause I can look up my favorite books and find exactly what I’m looking for and see if it’s in a public library near me the thing I love about Libby is that it’s free and all you need is a library card and a mind ready to learn and read

Search feature

When searching for “available now” books often come up that aren’t available. What’s that about?

Love books!

Libby is a great app for audiobooks. Love the selection. Hard to find new titles to read as I am thirteen and need age appropriate books, the app Doesn’t tell much about the audiobooks or books before reading. Also if you haven’t read John Flanagan’s Rangers Apprentice deities it’s a must read.

I love books lol.

Love!

I love this app so much! The hold times are pretty crazy though. I wish there were more copies available at any given time.

Extremely useful app for readers

Best app ever that lets you borrow books from your library and read with kindle without paying for kindle subscription or books.

Accessibility unlocked

Libby makes reading possible again. My eyesight has deteriorated enough now to make the joy of reading a physical book too difficult. But now I can open Libby and ‘read’ an audiobook anytime! My favorites are with me now while I make dinner or perform mindless tasks. Because I can listen while I work, I get to enjoy even more reading time! And I love the suggested similar titles section at the bottom of a title. I’ve discovered new authors and titles through the Libby app too. Thank you!
