LIB: Libby App: Libby by OverDrive

This guide will take a look at OverDrive as well as Libby by Overdrive - What it is, how to access it, how to use it, etc.

Libby, by OverDrive

Borrow ebooks and audiobooks to read on your phone or tablet using the Libby app by OverDrive. You can even send and read your borrowed ebooks to your Kindle ereader (U.S. only)! It’s free and easy to get started for new users and a streamlined experience for current OverDrive app users. Learn more at overdrive.com/apps/libby/.

OverDrive and the Libby app host the same library collection!

Overdrive is for a PC/Laptop and Libby is an app for a tablet or smart phone!

Your loans will transfer from one program to the next - listen at your desk or on the go!

How to log in to Libby!

Ebooks may be challenging to get into, but Libby makes the transition seamless! 

  • Check out up to 10 titles at a time! 
  • All titles are automatically returned for you on the due date - Never be late again!
  • Keep your books for up to 21 days or renew if no one is waiting for it! 
  • Ebooks work like physically books, so if a book you want is checked out, place a hold to be added to the waitlist!
  •  You can have more than one library card in Libby at the same time - See all your titles and holds in one place without having to switch between accounts! 
  • Remember reading/listening to a book and absolutely loving it, but can't remember the title? No worries! Libby keeps a reading timeline so you never have to worry about forgetting a title again!
