Imagine having access to millions of ebooks and audiobooks from your local library, all seamlessly integrated into one intuitive app. Libby is an award-winning and beloved digital platform designed to bring your library’s collection right to your fingertips. Whether you’re a casual reader or a dedicated bibliophile, Libby transforms how you discover and enjoy your favorite titles.

Across the globe, libraries offer an incredible range of digital content, and Libby makes borrowing these resources both easy and free. With a simple library card, you can instantly browse your library’s extensive catalog of books, from timeless classics to the newest New York Times bestsellers. The app allows you to borrow and enjoy ebooks and audiobooks without ever leaving your home, offering a library experience that’s accessible 24/7.

Libby supports a variety of features that enhance your reading experience. You can download titles to enjoy offline, stream them to save device space, or even send ebooks directly to your Kindle (U.S. libraries only). For audiobook enthusiasts, Libby offers compatibility with Android Auto, enabling you to listen while on the road. The app also allows users to create personalized tags to build must-read lists and other themed collections. Plus, your reading progress keeps perfectly synced across all your devices, so you can pick up exactly where you left off anytime, anywhere.

The built-in ebook reader offers a beautiful and intuitive interface that makes reading a pleasure. Users can adjust text size, change background colors, and customize the overall book design for a comfortable reading experience. Zoom features are available for magazines and comic books, bringing images into clear focus. The search function allows you to define and locate specific words or phrases within a book. For parents and children, the read-along feature enriches storytime, fostering a love of reading from an early age.

Bookmarks, notes, and highlights help you keep track of your favorite sections or passages, making study and review straightforward.

Libby’s innovative audio player is designed for maximum convenience. You can control playback speed, from as slow as 0.6x to as fast as 3.0x, fitting your listening style perfectly. A sleep timer ensures you can listen late into the night without worry. Navigating audiobooks is simple, with swipe gestures to skip forward or backward, and options to add bookmarks, notes, and highlights as you listen. This makes Libby an excellent companion for commutes, workouts, or relaxing at home.

Setting up Libby is quick and hassle-free. Download the app, locate your local library, and sign in using your library card. If you don't have one, many libraries now offer the possibility to register for a digital library card directly through the app. Once signed in, you’re welcomed by a clean, user-friendly interface that simplifies browsing options. Search by title, author, or genre and filter results based on availability. Borrowing a title is just a tap away, instantly adding your chosen ebook or audiobook to your library for reading or listening.

One of the standout capabilities of Libby is its cross-device synchronization. Begin a book on one device—say, your tablet—and continue on your smartphone without losing your place. The app’s smart wishlist feature simplifies managing titles you plan to read later, while the adjustable playback speed on audiobooks caters to your personal pace. Offline access lets you download books to enjoy when internet access isn’t available—perfect for travel, commuting, or times of limited connectivity.

Libby also provides extensive customization options. Adjust font size, change background lighting and colors, and personalize your visual settings to optimize comfort. If a book is currently checked out, don’t worry—reserve it with the hold system, and Libby will notify you when it’s available. This keeps you connected to your favorite titles without unnecessary wait times.

In a world that values convenience and accessibility, Libby stands out as a game-changer for book lovers. It beautifully combines the charm of traditional libraries with modern technology, offering an engaging experience where nostalgia meets innovation. Whether you prefer reading or listening, Libby brings your local library to your pocket, turning your device into a personal bookshelf full of endless possibilities.

If you’re ready to redefine your approach to books, give Libby a try. Discover a new world of stories, knowledge, and entertainment—at your convenience. Happy reading!
