With Libby, you can borrow free ebooks, digital audiobooks, and magazines from your library. All you need is a library card. Watch the getting-started video
Step 1
Install the Libby app from your device’s app store.
Or, visit libbyapp.com in your Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge browser.
Step 2
In Libby, follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a library card.
*When prompted for a PIN, use the last 4 digits of your library card. If that does not work, please call us at 701-662-2220 or email us at lakeregionpl@gmail.com.
Step 3
Browse your library’s catalog and borrow a title.
Your selection will vary based on your library, since each library chooses what titles and formats to offer in Libby.
Step 4
Borrowed titles appear on your Shelf (
) and download to the app automatically when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, so you can read them when you’re offline.
On your Shelf, tap loans at the top of the screen. From there, you can:
- Tap Read With… to choose where you’d like to read the book (Kindle or Libby), then finish sending to Kindle (U.S. libraries only) or start reading in Libby.
- Tap Open In Libby, Open Magazine, or Open Audiobook to start reading or listening in the app.
- Tap Manage Loan to see options like Renew and Return.
Happy reading!
