Libby

Libby is a free app for borrowing ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, and other titles from a local library. Users locate their library and sign in with a library card; the library sets its own card rules and collection, so access depends on that library. Catalog guides, subjects, featured titles, and curated lists help readers find material. In most books, readers can change font size, layout, and lighting, and add bookmarks, notes, and highlights. Magazine reading includes an article mode. Audiobooks offer playback speeds up to 3x and a sleep timer. Ebooks and audiobooks can be downloaded for offline reading or streamed to save space. Libby supports ebooks on Kobo and delivery to Kindle for U.S. libraries; audiobooks can play through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Android Automotive, or Bluetooth. Reading progress and saved notes, bookmarks, and highlights are stored to sync across devices. OverDrive says it does not sell personally identifiable information or use or disclose it for third-party advertising. Libby is available on Android, iOS, and the web.
