Libby is a brand-new mobile phone reading software. As long as it is the book that the user wants to read, you can easily find it here, and it is free, without charging any fees. The book resources here are very rich. To meet the needs of the majority of users. Of course, it is a book lending client launched by the American content provider OverDrive, with Android and iOS versions. And Libby is currently only applicable to public libraries, and cannot browse cooperative libraries of schools, enterprises and other institutions. If you need a more complete service, you can also choose the full-platform OverDrive client.
All in all, if you feel that the library’s official app takes up too much space, you might as well try Libby. You only need an app and a corresponding library account to borrow e-books for free. In Libby, all library cards can be bound to the same OverDrive account, which saves the repeated actions of logging out and logging in when switching between collections. You can find the library by querying the zip code, city or library name in the search bar. Click to enter the library page, and you can log in directly with the library account. Furthermore, in this app, a library card can borrow 3 books, the free borrowing time is 14 days, and you can preview before borrowing. Books borrowed from different libraries are stored in the bookshelves. Overdue loans will be returned automatically, so there is no need to worry about late fees. Books added to the reservation list will be automatically borrowed when other users return them.
