Getting started with Libby

With Libby, you can enjoy free ebooks, digital audiobooks, and magazines from your library. All you need is a library card.

Step 1

Download or open Libby on your device:

• iOS devices: Apple App Store
• Android devices: Google Play
• Amazon Fire tablets: Amazon Appstore
• Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks: libbyapp.com

  Note: libbyapp.com works best in up-to-date versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Step 2

In Libby, follow the prompts to find your library (Brazosport College Library) and sign in with a library card.

Step 3

Find something to borrow:

• Tap Search  to find a specific title, author, series, etc.
• Tap Library  to browse your library's catalog. You'll find helpful filters, catalog guides, campaigns, and curated lists created by your library.

Your selection will vary based on what Brazosport College Library has since we choose what titles and formats to offer in Libby.

Tip: Not ready to read a title, but want to keep track of it? Tag it for later.

Step 4

Your loans and magazines appear on your Shelf . By default, book and audiobook loans are automatically downloaded for offline access when you're connected to Wi-Fi, but magazines are not.

On your Shelf:

• Tap Loans to read or manage your borrowed titles.
• Tap Holds to see your place in line and manage your holds.
• Tap Timeline to see your Libby activity history.
• Tap Notices to see in-app notifications for your loans and holds. Choose what you want to be notified about under Menu > Notifications.
• Tap a magazine on your Magazine Rack to start reading.

Happy reading!
