Libby: The library beyond the walls

Everyone knows that a library card grants access to thousands of books, DVDs and other media within the library walls. But did you know that it also gives you access to Libby, a free app that's revolutionizing the library experience? Libby allows patrons to borrow ebooks, digital audiobooks and magazines—anytime, anywhere. It's compatible with most devices, including smartphones, tablets and even Kindles.

What Makes Libby Special?

What makes Libby even more powerful is its reach. It doesn't just pull from the Owen County Public Library's collection. Instead, it connects patrons to a large consortium of libraries, expanding access to a much wider selection of materials. That means more choices—and shorter wait times for popular titles.

Need to place a hold? Libby makes it simple. You'll receive a notification when your item is ready to download. Not quite ready yet? You can even extend your hold within the app.

Libby also lets you customize your reading experience. Adjust font size, screen brightness and even switch to dark mode to reduce eye strain and blue light exposure.

In short, Libby brings the library to your fingertips—wherever you are.

All you need is your library card.
