Libby

“Love the library and love this app! I can access books at the drop of a dime. Don't know how I lived my life before.”

“Probably everybody knows this, but: countless free ebooks via your local library”

“Libby might just be the love of my life. Access to your library’s ebooks and audiobooks. Plus you can connect multiple library cards to the app.”

“Managing your Libby app and library holds like a hobby—checking, adding, researching, pining, (un)suspending holds, getting Lucky Day books, seeing that you’re 235th on the list for a book, requesting new purchases, monitoring….all to have five books become available at once.”

“I quit social media months ago and now use my phone time to scroll magazines that drop in real time, for free, on Libby. I get an alert when they arrive! House & Garden, Bon Appetit, the New Yorker, the New York review of books, vogue, vanity fair, AD, Cooks Illustrated, etc etc. My love for this app is unmatched.”

“The app I cannot live without.”

“The tiniest bit of my DNA is in this.”

“From my mom- connect to your local library using your LIBRARY CARD to borrow audio and e-books on kindle- This has been such a hack living abroad since I was able to link to the great NYPL.”

“If you find yourself having less time to read, and you really do not care about listening to music, might I suggest listening to audio books exclusively on your commute? I listen on 2x speed and get to "read" so many more books than just what I'm able to fit in physically or with my kobo. If you also enjoyed your lecture classes in high school and college, this is for you.”

“Preferably for e-books, sometimes for audiobooks. No better feeling than having your holds ready!”

“What’s more punk than the public library? Nothing.”

“i assume i’m preaching to the choir but.. libraries. wow. society really ate with that one. it’s your right as a citizen to enjoy them. exercise it! Now for anyone who works with libby please do call because we GOTTA work on some shit but if you haven’t downloaded please do it, free books. and so many!”

“In my top 5 apps. Free ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines through the public library system. All you need is a library card. Hot tip: borrow library cards from people in different cities to access various catalogues (with different books, curation, and wait times).”

“Highly recommend this app-I use it to listen to audiobooks!”

“the absolutely goated way to use a kindle is with libby.”

“My most useful life hack is Libby + kindle. On Libby, put a few books you'd like to read on hold. Once they become start become available, suspend them until you have a couple books built up. Then unsuspend, add to kindle, open the books so they download, and turn your kindle on airplane mode and return the books. Read them all at your leisure! Start the process over! Win the lottery every time you load up the kindle!”

“the libby app single handedly got me back into reading. it's an extension of public libraries everywhere (which we LOVE and SUPPORT), all you need is a free public library card and you have access to all of their e-books. i was initially very skeptical on reading on a device, but it is unfortunately very convenient. you can connect multiple libraries to your libby (i have LA, brooklyn, and NYC) and check out books from any of your destinations. i connected my libby to my kindle and borrow books on the regular, especially recent releases. idc idc i am a sl*t for libby and now i just open my libby app and read a book instead of doomscrolling. if i'm going to keep up my screentime, i might as well get through my reading list <3 did i mention it's FREE”

“Who needs Kindle Unlimited?!”

“Libby is the BEST. You can join multiple libraries and download and read books for FREE!”

“libby is my constant. my best friend, my nightly companion, my life partner. i'm too introverted (slightly agoraphobic) to frequent my local library in person -- libby is where it's at if you have similar issues as me but are an avid book girly on a budget and looking for your next fix.”

“I tell everyone I know about Libby- link your library card/s/ to get access to audiobooks, ebooks, and magazines. Read on your phone, computer, or ereader. In general, take this as your sign to go give your library some love!!”

“Changed my whole dang life!”

“FREE audiobooks (and e-books, but I use it exclusively for audiobooks) right in my pocket! Just connect your local library card (any library card) to get started.”

“Get as many library cards as you can load in here! If you're anywhere in NYC can you get a BKPL, NYPL, and a QPL card and put holds based on the shortest wait.”

“An app that connects you digitally to your local library so you can borrow and read books on your phone or Kindle for free. There are sometimes weeklong wait times for the most popular books, but my favorite hack is adding multiple titles to my hold list and reading them in the order they become available. It’s like my present self is stacking book recs for my future self!”

“Libby single-handedly made me a reader again. Audiobooks (!!!). E-books. Cookbooks. Magazines. FREE. Plus, you’re supporting your local library. Best app on my phone.”

“Genius”

“I live and die by the Libby app. If you are a kindle-lover like me, download and sign up at your local library ASAP. Trust me, it will change your life.”

“I read so many magazines on Libby! Love.”

“E-books and audiobooks from the library on your phone. Support your local library from wherever you are.”

“Game changer for hitting reading goals. At all times I have a e-book, audio book and physical book going and Libby lets you have 30 items on hold per library card.”

“Hopefully everyone has this downloaded for free audio books and magazines.”

“Books and audiobooks galore for free.99! PBS told me a library card was the most valuable thing in my wallet and oh shucks is it ever. Joy meter: ♾️/10”

“Y’all know Libby. You love Libby. Read infinite books on your dad’s old kindle! Listen to audiobooks while you do laundry. Load books for your kid constantly. All while taking advantage of your amazing library from home.”

“Plus NYPL card… indispensable!”

“Yay libraries! Kindle and audiobooks!”

“I love my kindle but refuse to pay Amazon for books. I get all my kindle books from Libby!”

“Kids’ audiobooks on airplane mode”

“The library!”

“Not just books, but magazines!”

“Limitless amounts of free books and I don’t have to leave my house to get them? It doesn’t get better.”

“The best!”

“I ❤️ Libby!”
