Getting started with Libby

Use these steps to get started with free ebooks, audiobooks, and more from your library:

1. Find your library

Find and open your library or school’s digital collection using the following:

• Our Libby app (recommended for public library users)

2. Borrow

Borrow a title from your library’s digital collection. You’ll need a valid library card to complete this step.

3. Enjoy

You can enjoy many titles immediately online, download them for offline use, or send borrowed ebooks to a Kindle device (U.S. libraries and schools only).

If you’re on a computer, you may also be able to transfer titles to compatible ereaders or MP3 players.

Getting started with the Libby app

The free Libby app is the easiest way to get started with digital books, audiobooks, and magazines from your public library. Libby is available for Android, iOS, Windows 10, some Chromebooks, and in your browser at libbyapp.com.

Get started with Libby

STEP 1

Install the Libby app from your device’s app store.

• Apple App Store
• Google Play
• Windows Store

Or, visit libbyapp.com in your Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge browser.

STEP 2

In Libby, follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a valid library card.

STEP 3

Browse your library’s collection and borrow a title.

STEP 4

Borrowed titles appear under Shelf > Loans and download to the app automatically when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, so you can read them when you’re offline.

From your Loans, you can:

• Tap Read With… to choose where you’d like to read the book (Kindle or Libby), then finish sending to Kindle (U.S. libraries only) or start reading in Libby.
• Tap Open Audiobook or Open Magazine to start reading or listening to that title.
• Tap Manage Loan to see options like Renew and Return.
