FAQ
How do I get started with Libby?
Getting started with Libby is simple! First, ensure you have a library card from a participating library. Download the Libby app from your device's app store, open it, and tap 'Yes' when asked if you have a library card. Search for your library, select it, and enter your library card number and PIN to sign in. Once logged in, you can start browsing and borrowing titles immediately.
Can I use Libby on multiple devices?
Yes, absolutely! Libby is designed to keep your reading and listening experience synchronized across all your devices. As long as you're logged into the same Libby account with your library card on each device, your reading position, notes, highlights, and tags will automatically update, allowing you to pick up right where you left off.
What if my library doesn't have the book I want?
Libby gives you access to the digital catalog your specific library offers. If a particular title isn't available, you can often suggest it to your library for purchase through a 'Suggest a Title' feature within the app, if your library supports it. This helps your library understand what their patrons are interested in borrowing. Keep checking back, as new titles are added regularly!
