#Chesterfield library libby app how to#
Their video (below) on "How to Use Libby by OverDrive to Access Digital Books and Audiobooks on your Phone or Tablet!" explains how to download the app and walks you through it's many features. One of the best Libby tutorial videos I've found was done by the Totowa Public Library of Totowa, NJ.Just keep in mind that in these videos some of the details, like the checkout times for ebooks or audiobooks, may be specific to the library that produced the video. Barring that, a few videos that I think do a good job of explaining how to get going with Libby are listed below. Your library may have a video of their own that you can reference, or your librarian may be able to point you to resources to help you get started. There are several videos out there that can help you get started with Libby and explain more about how the Libby app and the borrowing process works. If you decide to place a book on hold, Libby will notify you when it's ready for check out. In that case, Libby will let you know when the book should be available, based on the number of people in line ahead of you, and the length of time allowed by your library to borrow the book. If it's a new or popular book you may end up being fourth or fifth in the on hold queue.
Libby will then notify you when the book is available for you to check out. If the book you want is checked out, the good news is that you can still place the book on hold. Even if the library has the book, someone else may have checked it out already. Speaking of books being available for check out - just like when you go to your library in person, not every book you want to read will be on the library's shelves. Once you find a book you like, check it out and start reading (or listening)! The book will be downloaded to your device so you can access it even if you're not connected to the internet. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, so getting to the type of books you like to read (say non-fiction audiobooks including only biographies and histories, and that are available for check out right now) is pretty quick. Libby will show you a selection from your library on the main screen, but you can sort, filter and search through the whole collection to find a book you would like to read. Keep in mind that Libby is giving you access to your local library (or group of libraries), and through Libby you are gaining access to the ebooks and audiobooks available from that specific library or libraries. Once you've downloaded the app to your device your first step will be to provide Libby with your library card, and then you'll be ready to check out your first book. Your donated Dragon Dollars will be converted into legal tender and given to those worthy causes at the end of the summer program.The Libby app is pretty straightforward to use. Remember you can redeem all the reading you do this summer for Dragon Dollars which can be used to purchase many fabulous items available in the “Summer Lair” or which can be donated to the DeForest Area Needs Network or the Dane County Humane Society. Below you will find a list of many of the good books that arrived at the library this past week. While this might not be ideal weather for outdoor summer activities, it is pretty darn good weather for reading! Cool days, with a few clouds thrown in for atmosphere, let you stretch out on the sofa (davenport/ couch/divan/chaise longue/ chesterfield/settee/love seat/ottoman –what have you), throw a light covering (blanket/quilt/comforter/etc.) over you, invite your pets (preferably mammalian and able to appreciate and at the same time be a heat source) to join you and settle in with a good book. After the deluges of last week we seem to have settled into a cool (for mid-June) weather pattern with only occasional showers.
