Libby

Getting Started with Libby

With Libby, you can borrow free ebooks, digital audiobooks, and magazines from your library. All you need is a library card.

Step 1

Download or open Libby on your device:

  • Apple App Store (for iOS devices)
  • Google Play (for Android devices)
  • Direct download from OverDrive, the developers of Libby (for Amazon Fire tablets)
  • libbyapp.com (for Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks)
    Note: libbyapp.com works best in up-to-date versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Step 2

In Libby, follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a library card.

Step 3

Browse your library’s catalog and borrow a title.

Your selection will vary based on your library, since each library chooses what titles and formats to offer in Libby. Please note: You can have more than one Libby account with other libraries which will provide a greater selection of materials. You are actually limited to 50 different libraries!

Step 4

Borrowed titles appear on your Shelf (Shelf) and download to the app automatically when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, so you can read them when you’re offline.

On your Shelf, tap loans at the top of the screen. From there, you can:

  • Tap Read With… to choose where you’d like to read the book (Kindle or Libby), then finish sending to Kindle (U.S. libraries only) or start reading in Libby.
  • Tap Open In Libby, Open Magazine, or Open Audiobook to start reading or listening in the app.
  • Tap Manage Loan to see options like Renew and Return.

Happy reading!
