Getting Started Guide

With Libby, the Library Reading App from Overdrive, you can access hundreds of eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines on your phone, tablet, or computer. You can stream titles with Wi-Fi or mobile data, or download them for offline use and read anytime, anywhere. Have library cards from other libraries? Sign into multiple libraries at once and see all of your loans in one place.

Finding Items

  • There are multiple ways to find or browse for items in Libby:
