Unveiling the Hidden Features of the Libby App — Libby, the friendly digital library app, is known for its ease of use and access to a wealth of ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines.

Let’s dive into these hidden treasures that await your discovery.

Unveiling the Hidden Features of the Libby App

Duck, Duck, PIN!

Multiple Library Cards

Did you know that you can add multiple library cards to your Libby account? This feature allows you to access collections from different libraries and manage them all in one place. If a book has a waitlist at one library, Libby will check if it’s available or has a shorter waitlist at another.

Skip-the-Line Titles

Waiting for popular titles can be frustrating, but with Libby’s Skip-the-Line feature, you might just get lucky. Certain copies of in-demand books may be available for immediate borrowing without a waitlist. These special copies can’t be renewed and may have shorter loan periods, so make sure to read them while you can.

Libby Help

Need assistance? Libby Help is a comprehensive resource for all your queries. Whether you’re a first-time user or need help with specific features, Libby Help has got you covered.

Deliver Later and Suspend Hold

Libby understands that sometimes you’re not ready to start a new book right away. The ‘Deliver Later’ option allows you to postpone borrowing a hold, while ‘Suspend Hold’ lets you pause your place in the waitlist without losing it.

Fun Secrets and Easter Eggs

Libby also has its share of fun secrets and Easter eggs. For instance, returning a title early rewards you with a delightful flower explosion, and the more books you return, the more flowers you get. You can even customize the Libby icon color to suit your mood.

SPIN ME RIGHT ‘ROUND, BABY RIGHT ‘ROUND

Before you open a book you’ve borrowed from the library, you can tap the cover and swipe side to side to make it spin.

Why not let that book show off with a little dance before you being read that book?

Customization and Accessibility

Libby offers various options to make text easier to read and allows you to customize the colors of your libraries to differentiate your cards. These little-known gems ensure that your reading experience is not only comfortable but also personalized.

These features are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Libby has to offer. So next time you open the app, take a moment to explore and you might find some hidden features that could become your new favorites.
