The start of the new year brought some big updates to Libby, our online resource for e-books and audiobooks, that make finding something to read easier! While most titles on Libby are limited to one user at a time, there are several options that bypass this and make titles available immediately for an unlimited number of users. The Available Now collections feature upwards of 200 audiobook titles, 560 romance titles, and 490 mystery titles. While these titles do still count against your monthly checkouts, they are all guaranteed to be available. There was also a large update to graphic novel and comic books with the addition of the All Access Comics collection. This collection makes more than 5,700 comics and graphic novel titles from publishers including Marvel, DC, and more, available for immediate checkout with no waiting. These collections are in addition to Libby's rotating Lucky Day collection which takes popular audiobook and ebook titles, and makes them available with no waiting but for a shorter checkout period and with zero renewals. If you're new to Libby and have questions about how it all works, stop by our Introduction to Libby program on February 4 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM with any questions you may have. These Available Now collections from Libby can make it easier to kick off your year with new titles to read! |
