Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
There’s only one thing easier than visiting the library: bringing it to you. Meet Libby, an app that lets you log in to your local library to access ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines, all for the reasonable price of free. Sign in, link your library card, and go—it’s that simple.
Iris
Great app!!! A variety of books and audiobooks -that keep me company while running. Works just like a library, including the waiting time for popular books, but there are so many available books to keep you going until your ordered ones arrive, that it really isn’t a hassle. The app notifies you the minute your ordered book is available: so efficient! The fact that I don’t have to go to the library and start my search there, in hope that they actually have what I want, plus the fact that I get to read popular books for free...and no need to dust them books every few months...well, gotta love this app.
Libby is a life changer!
I love books! As a professional, I have very little time to read, but the introduction of audiobooks to my life has enabled me to consume a book a week on average. This is life-changing and so enriching! I am now able to listen to literature of all types when I’m cleaning, cooking and eating by myself. I also listen in the car. I have recommended the format to other busy people, as well as to my mother who is in her 80s and is having a harder time reading books. What a gift!
