Step 1:
Download or open Libby on your device:
-
iOS devices: Apple App Store
-
Android devices: Google Play
-
Amazon Fire tablets: Amazon Appstore
-
Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks: libbyapp.com
If you are using a PC go to: libbyapp.com which works best in up-to-date versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
Step 2:
In the Libby app or at libbyapp.com, follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a library card.
Step 3:
Browse your library's catalog, then borrow a book or audiobook or open a magazine.
​
Your selection will vary based on your library, since each library chooses what titles and formats to offer in Libby.
Step 4:
Borrowed titles appear on your Shelf, in the navigation footer. You'll also find your magazine subscriptions and kept magazine issues on the Magazine Rack on your Shelf.
​
Book and audiobook loans are downloaded to the app automatically when you're connected to Wi-Fi, so you can read them when you're offline. To save space on your device, magazines don't automatically download, but you can manually download individual issues.
​
On your Shelf , you can:
-
Tap loans (at the top of the screen) to only see your book and audiobook loans.
-
Tap Read With... to choose where you'd like to read a book (Kindle or Libby), then finish sending to Kindle (U.S. libraries only) or start reading in Libby.
-
Tap Open In Libby or Open Audiobook to start reading or listening in the app.
-
Tap Manage Loan to see options like Renew Loan and Return Early.
