In my hometown, the library is now closed. You need to call in to ask for a specific book, and then you can drive to the library and pick up that specific book. The catch is, you have to know what you're looking for. There is no feature on the website where I get to read the first few pages, I don't have a lot of options to scroll through and just browse- I have to know what book I want. Libby helps with that.
Libby is available on most Apple, Android, and Windows 10 devices. It can also connect to Kindles. If you have a library card, you can select your library, type in the code beneath the barcode on the back of your card, and Libby will connect you to multitudes of audiobooks and ebooks that you can check out with the push of a button. Books are sorted by youth, young adult, and general. You can further narrow down choices by book or audiobook, and by book to compatibility. All books are available through the app, but others are sorted by Kindle, or Adobe-compatible e-reader. After choosing an age demographic, you can browse books in all categories, or further narrow your thousands of choices by topic, ranging from Thrillers, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Non-Fiction, or even as specific as Folklore. Depending on your library, you can even choose the language of book you are searching for. Scan titles by the pictures of their covers, and even benefit from knowing just how long it would take to finish the audiobook you plan on checking out. As far as I can tell, most loans last for two weeks, or fourteen days. And, for fans of the Hunger Games out there, may the odds be ever in your favor!" |
