Photograph the cover and it finds the book. - Days that add up Read today? Mark it — the calendar fills in and your streak grows. Log where you are by page or by percent. - Notes along the way A sentence worth keeping, or your thoughts when you finish — every book holds your notes, and they're yours alone. - Your reading becomes a card Books finished, days reading, your pace, your most-read author — one library card. Share it to Stories, Photos, or anywhere else. - Read alongside friends Invite a friend by link and see what they have open right now. Browse their shelves, leave a compliment on a book they've read, and poke the ones who've gone quiet. Friendships are mutual, and only friends can see your library. - Pick up where you left off Jump straight to the book in the app you read it in, or borrow it free from your local library through Libby.
