all you can read books from your local library

shoutout to my boyfriend for putting me onto this app! i don’t have a kindle but now i kinda do

and it’s FREE

i’m not sponsored, i just wanted to share this with everyone 🌸

💌 App: Libby

💵 Price: FREE

Once you make your account it puts a tag next to books you’ve already read or audio books you’ve already listened to! If you already have a library card, select your local library and then boom just read whatever books aren’t currently being borrowed. Or, join the waitlist for a book that’s currently being borrowed.

If you don’t have a library card, no problem! You just choose a library and add your phone number. It’ll make a digital library card for you. (yes, you can use this library card in person at the library as well)

story time! i recently got into Avatar the last airbender. after finishing the series i wanted more so i found out there’s prequels! there’s a lot of ATLA collector holders so it was hard to find some books that were available in stores. after downloading the libby app i’m now able to read the books i want 🥹

By the way, if you have a kindle the app works on there too and will continue to save your place when switching devices. read on your phone or on a kindle whatever works best for you~

Libby connects you with your local library's digital collection, giving you access to a vast selection of eBooks and audiobooks for free.

For those without a library card, Libby offers a straightforward solution—create a digital library card by selecting a participating library and entering your phone number. Plus, Libby syncs your reading progress across devices; whether you start a book on your smartphone or Kindle, your last page will be saved. Additionally, the app features a personalized reading experience where you can highlight text, take notes, and bookmark your favorite passages. The accessibility of audiobooks also makes it easy to enjoy stories while multitasking or on the go. In today's fast-paced world, Libby is not just a free app—it's a community of readers eager to discover new stories and share their loves.
