Meet the Libby app for OverDrive downloadables (ebooks and audiobooks).
Install:
Find Libby in your app store, install it, and it will walk you through setup steps.
Setup:
Please check to be sure you select the correct library in the Libby app. We are "Knox County Public Library," in Knoxville, TN. There are other Knoxvilles and other Knox counties in other states. People can pick the wrong one without noticing.
The easiest way to find the right library is to search on zip code 37902; the address is 500 West Church Avenue.
You do not need to hunt for your local branch in the app—we are all one library.
Input your library card number without spaces.
If you cannot remember your password, you can change it.
You can add more libraries and more cards to the app.
You can also sync your information with Libby installed on other devices.
Libby Help:
Libby help is available at https://help.libbyapp.com and is also available via the options menu. Start here.
The guidance for using the app to choose, check out, and read/listen is quite good, but also we're here if you want to talk through something giving you trouble.
Other devices:
Windows and Mac users: You can give Libby a quick test run in a web browser by visiting libbyapp.com. The OverDrive site is still the preferred experience for streaming ebooks and audiobooks in your browser.
Kindle readers: You do not need the Libby app; you can use the catalog or the OverDrive website to send books to your Kindle through the Amazon.com website. But the Libby app can be used as a simple way to use your smartphone or tablet to search and borrow, then use Amazon's website to send to your Kindle.
