All you need to check out a book is a internet connection, and then you can download it. You can download books for reading in places with 0 internet connection. Eye strain problems can cause headaches while you read! (And it can be super annoying). I recommend using this app on an iPad, because the screen is much bigger. This allows you to read a small portion of the book before checking out, or placing a hold. You may also pre order books, allowing you to place a hold to read a book for when it comes out. This app works just like a normal library allowing you to place holds, and renew books.

You can check out almost any book, from the comforts of home. It is entirely free, with no in-app purchases. It is more efficient to use this app then to go to a physical library. This app has made reading more efficient.

And half the books I read, I don’t actually own. Libby is built by the team at OverDrive, in support of local libraries everywhere.
