Interview - Libby

Many of our clients love books. And when people love books they tend to have a lot them. We spoke with Adam at Libby about solutions to free up space in your home.

For the busy person, what is Libby?

Libby is a reading app that provides access to thousands of eBooks and audio-books for free through your public library. It works with 95% of U.S. public libraries and enables you to borrow books from any library you have a card for right on your phone or device anytime, anywhere.

What types of media can I borrow?

eBooks, audio-books, and (coming at the end of June) magazines.

What devices are supported?

Any internet connected device works with Libby including apple and android products. Libby is also the only digital library lending app that is compatible with Kindle.

What do I need to use Libby?

Libby is the perfect app for anyone interested in finding ways to read more in their life. You can borrow audio-books to enjoy in traffic, while doing chores or walking the dog. You can enjoy an eBook on the train or while relaxing in bed. Libby connects you to countless books and stories even if you can’t get to the library and you never have to worry about late fees or losing the books. You’ll find everything from bestsellers and classics to nonfiction, children’s books, romance, self-improvement and so much more.

What are some of your favorite books?

I will read anything by Neil Gaiman and I also love modern fairy tales like Uprooted by Naomi Novik. The last collection of short stories by Denis Johnson, The Largesse of the Sea is a beautiful reflection on the different lives we all lead and I adore N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth Fantasy series.
