Loaning and borrowing books from your local library is a great way to gain access to more books you can read. Now, though, with Covid-19 still making it not safe to be out and about, going to your local library and/or bookstore can be tough.
That's where Libby app comes in. You can download the app on your phone or iPad, or you can access it online via the link provided above. Through the app, you can select your nearest library (local or not) and you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks that the library has access to.
The Libby app has been a life saver for me. At least when it comes to books.
I didn't really loan a lot of library books before the pandemic. I've always been okay with un-hauling books that I'm not interested in anymore, making room for new books I've bought. (There will be a blog post on this on Saturday and Sunday.) I always knew that loaning from the library was an option, but I had been a bit lazy about looking into it before now.
Since quarantine began, I've gone to a bookstore once. Safely, of course. Honestly, it hit me a bit hard knowing that I couldn't just pick up my wallet and head to the bookstore without all the precautions we need to take. That's when my sister told me about Libby.
Through Libby - as mentioned above - you can select your nearest library and you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks. And this isn't the only benefit of Libby, in my opinion.
I've had a lot of books on my radar that I've wanted to read. Thanks to Libby, I've been able to read the ones I don't own. This way, I can decide if I like them enough to spend money on. (This is a benefit of loaning library books I always knew, but didn't consciously consider until Libby.)
So if you're a big reader like myself, give Libby look into. Downloading the app and getting an e-library card are both free. (Yes, free.)
