Meet Libby: A New Way to E-Read
For years Overdrive has been the go-to app for libraries to provide access to eBooks and audiobooks. Now they’ve built a new app specifically designed for library patrons: Libby. Overdrive is encouraging new library users to begin reading with Libby and pushing current library users to move to Libby. Its user-friendly interface and ease-of-use has led many librarians to make the move themselves. Available on the iPhone app store, Google Play, and on Microsoft Windows (10+), library patrons can now access Libby from their phone, tablet, or desktop.
Libby allows patrons to sign into multiple libraries, with one or more cards for each library, download items for offline reading, and all loans and holds are consolidated on a single shelf. Libby keeps track of your reading history and positions, bookmarks and notes are kept in sync across your devices.
Libby can send your library books to your Kindle and readers can sample any book with a tap. Try a zoomable graphic novel or picture book too! It just takes a few taps to find and borrow a title with Libby’s groundbreaking eBook reader and audiobook player. Libby works in conjunction with the OWWL2Go catalog, allowing Pioneer Library System users to access their accounts across Libby, Overdrive, and all your devices. OverDrive is still available for users who prefer it.
For more information, please visit the Libby website, Overdrive or the OWWL2Go website.
For help, please contact the reference desk at 315-789-5303 ext 105.
