Libby, by OverDrive 4+

I used this service after seeing it advertised in our local library. Was a little difficult to find our library at first, but easy after that. Really pleased. My husband and children are using it too.
My youngest son is dyslexic and we have been borrowing/downloading the audio books, that are too expensive for us to buy, for his school English text. It’s working really well. We read the book from school first and then listen to the audiobook. He enjoyed the Wind singer audiobook so much he listened to it twice!
Books are expensive and sometimes getting to the library at the weekends ends up just another chore, now we can get the books so quickly.

I’m a lover of books but don’t really have time to read a physical book lately so I’ve been listening to podcasts. However, sometimes I want to listen to some fiction and for more than 20 minutes! Therefore I adore audio books and, after seeing an add for this app, I thought I’d give it a go. It’s amazing. I’m lucky that my library is on here and I’ve already listened to two audiobooks in the last week! I run regularly and find that I can properly lose myself in a decent book as well as using them to block out the noise at work too. I would 100% recommend this app to anyone who has a library card.

An awful lot of people complaining about not being able to find their local library. A simple solution is to check your libraries’ websites; I have library cards in 3 boroughs each of which listed their full name as it appears on the app so very easy to search and find them! Additionally unfair to blame an app if your library hasn’t signed up for the service.
Audiobooks and ebooks available to loan for two weeks, nice alternative when you can’t necessarily be bothered to go to a library. Can access the app on multiple devices download offline so don’t have to stream. Browsing/search function is a little clunky and filters aren’t the best but it’s functional and convenient overall!
