Meet Libby, the new one-tap reading app from OverDrive, for reading ebooks and listening to audiobooks from your local library.

Libby was designed based on guidance from librarians and the feedback of thousands of beta users to provide a reading experience perfect for all users. I have personally tested Libby out and find myself using the app instead of OverDrive’s regular app. 

Here's why you’ll love Libby:

  • Quick and easy for first-time users
  • Integrated reading and listening experience with OverDrive Read and OverDrive Listen
  • No Adobe ID or account registration required
  • Faster performance and powerful search
  • Same experience on all devices
  • Customizable browsing options to find the books you want faster
  • Simplified download settings
  • Fixed-layout and Read-Along ebook support
  • Support for ebook highlights and annotations
  • Custom lists for tagging books you love, want to read and more

So download the app (you will need your library card to access our collection) if you love the convenience of ebooks or audiobooks.

Visit the library or call 682-4432 for an appointment if you need assistance.
