Have you met Libby?

Submitted by sadie.bruce on Wed, 07/05/2017 - 08:19

Introducing Libby  [1]– the new “one-tap reading app” available now from Overdrive!

Designed from librarian input, Libby’s goal is to provide an enjoyable reading experience for current library users while drawing in new ones.

Features include:

  1. The ability to remember a reader’s place in a book/audiobook between devices.
  2. The ability to sync notes and bookmarks across devices.
  3. The ability to associate more than one card with an account – great for parents!
  4. Catalog loads within the app - searching and browsing directly in the app – no extra steps for getting content.

To learn more about Libby, visit the help page [2] or watch this video [3].

Note: the classic Overdrive app isn't going away any time soon. 

Action Steps:

  • Download Libby for iOS/Android/Kindle Fire.
  • Try checking out an ebook.
  • Try checking out an audiobook.
  • Report any issues/bug you experience.

Talking Points:

  • As the world gets more mobile, so does the library. Download the new Libby app and go seamlessly between listening to an audiobook while you run to picking up again on your commute.
  • The new Overdrive app, Libby, allows you to add your child’s card to your account. No more signing in and out!
  • With a beautiful new look, Libby makes borrowing and reading ebooks from the Metropolitan Library System easier than ever.
