Updates Coming to Libby

Submitted by kristine.magers on Wed, 03/31/2021 - 09:17

Libby is getting an upgrade soon with design changes and new features, including smart tagging, wishlist and tag syncing, search improvements, and notifications for the next issue of a magazine.

To see a preview of these updates, check out this twitter thread [1] that shows screenshots of what's to come.

  • New navigation bar: search button and timeline buttons added, menu button moved, shelf button changes colors based on what you're reading
  • Updates to tags: new look, description box added, syncing across devices!
  • Smart tags: tag magazine titles to get notified when a new issue is published, notifications for ebooks and audiobooks will be added in later updates to get notified of a new title in a series or by an author you love
  • Multiple Library Cards: easier to switch between libraries and see wait times and holdings across your cards

We do not have a date yet for when this upgrade will take place in the Libby app, but if you visit libbyapp.com [2] on a desktop, you will see many of these changes already. Check it out and let us know in the comments what you're most excited to see!
