Step by Step Guide

STEP 1

Install the Libby app from your device's app store.

Or, visit libbyapp.com in your Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge browser.

STEP 2

In Libby, follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a valid library card.

STEP 3

Browse your library's collection and borrow a title.

STEP 4

Borrowed titles appear under Shelf > Loans and download to the app automatically when you're connected to Wi-Fi, so you can read them when you're offline.

From your Loans, you can:

  • Tap Read With... to choose where you'd like to read the book (Kindle or Libby), then finish sending to Kindle (U.S. libraries only) or start reading in Libby.

  • Tap Open Audiobook or Open Magazine to start reading or listening to that title.

  • Tap Manage Loan to see options like Renew and Return.
