Lots of people are packing up and hitting the road right now. Whether it’s a family vacation, a weekend getaway, or moving out to the fairgrounds next week you’ll want to pack as much as you can in as little space as possible. That’s where Libby can save you plenty of space.
Libby by Overdrive is a free app for your smartphone or tablet; it allows you to take out a total of 10 books/audiobooks. Just download Libby by Overdrive from your app store, follow the simple instructions (enter our name - North Judson-Wayne Township Library - and your library card number) and you’re set to go. Should you have any problems setting up Libby, just stop in at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library and we’ll be glad to help you get started.
Then just browse the library of over 50,000 items – and more are added daily, or search for titles you want to read; Libby will tell you if they are available or checked out. If a book is out, Libby will let you know how many holds are on it, how many copies are in the system, and approximately when it will be available. If you reserve a book that is out, Libby will send an email letting you know when it is your turn and will automatically download it to your phone/tablet. (HINT: We do recommend that under “Preferences” you set “Compatibility” to Libby for a more direct download.)
The items you choose are downloaded over Wifi connections and are yours for 14 days, with the option of 1 renewal if needed. Finished a book before it’s due? Just reconnect to Wifi, return it, and pick out some more. Any book you don’t renew will be automatically returned after two weeks for the next person to use.
If you haven’t tried Libby you don’t know what you’re missing.
