The app could be more user friendly.


So convenient

Libby is great for anyone that enjoys audiobooks or digital books. With a library card, you have access to just about any title you could wish for at the palm of your hands… for free!

I have been using Libby for about two years. It is convenient and there are a lot of books to choose from. There can be a wait for list for books but I read others while waiting. I recommend Libby to all my reader friends.


Libby App Review
edward mc jimmy

Libby is a great app for you to use if you want to read, or listen to a book on your device or on a kindle. The only thing is that Libby does not always have the exact book I am looking for. Usually though, they are small and not well known books. Overall, good app, and good format.

This book lover loves the ease and availability of this app. Can’t beat it with a stick. Thank you developers and others responsible for getting this app up and running - good stuff.


It was great but not anymore
Nana from Az

When you had two weeks to listen to an audiobook it was great. Now it is one week. I can’t get through a 19 hour book in 7 days. I’m part of the greater Phoenix Library System.
