Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love this app!! It's user friendly and super easy to navigate. There's such a wide selection of ebooks and audiobooks, though it varies based off of your library card location. This app also lets you store all of your library cards so navigating the selection between them is really awesome too!! I don't waste money paying for subscriptions like audible when 90% of the books I'm looking for are available on Libby!! 💖💖

Really great app! Way back, I was hesitant to switch from Overdrive, but Libby has lots of useful features. It's easy to find stuff and organize it. The built-in ebook reader and audiobook player are useful and easy to use. I especially like being able to have multiple library cards on the app and then choose between them for checking out (or placing holds on) materials. Definitely recommend.

Exceptional app for free books and audiobooks. Depending on how many copies there are it can be a wait but it does let you know when your hold is ready. If you miss it or can't take it, you can let the next person grab it and be next again. Really recommend for those that need background noise or want to listen on car trips. It's a small temp download and doesn't stream. High rec to anyone that wants access to read more.

What's new

Fixed a downloading issue that caused audiobooks to skip, be missing content, or start playback in an unexpected place. If you have an affected audiobook, delete and re-download it after updating the app.
