Chapter 1: Introduction to Libby
Have you heard about Libby? If not, you're in for a treat!
I often find myself overwhelmed by the fear of missing out, especially when it comes to new apps. Did Libby slip under your radar like a catchy Disney song? If you ask someone if they use Libby, be prepared for some awkward silence or puzzled looks as they respond, “What do you mean by use?”
I'm not sure how I first learned about Libby, but it quickly became my favorite app. With my "to-be-read" stack towering over me, I try to resist buying new books unless they come highly recommended or are authored by someone I know. My previous method involved searching for the first chapter on Kindle through Amazon. However, Libby has changed the game—now, I can read entire books for FREE!
Libby is your go-to app for accessing books, audiobooks, and magazines. All you need is a library card, which can be easily obtained digitally via the Libby app, along with an internet connection. You can even download titles for offline reading.
While I’m not well-versed in OverDrive, I discovered that Libby was developed by them. Here’s a quick overview: “Libby is built by OverDrive, who also created the original OverDrive app. It provides access to the same free digital library content you may have enjoyed before, but Libby simplifies the process of discovering, borrowing, and enjoying free digital titles.”
If your library isn't available on Libby, it simply means they're not part of OverDrive yet. Don't hesitate to reach out to them and express your interest in using Libby!
Currently, Libby boasts over 3,000 titles across various genres and categories. While some bestsellers and newly released titles may have waiting lists, you can place them on hold, and Libby will notify you when they become available.
