To better ensure your access to online resources like ebooks, e-audiobooks, and digital magazines is secure, Libby will start requiring a PIN to log in on Wednesday, October 14th. There may be some disruption that morning to the service. If you have a library card with your local library, the PIN is the same number you use to log into the online catalog. If you are unsure of what your PIN is, please reach out to your library directly or contact us at info@cefls.org.
We’re happy to announce that magazines are now available in the Libby app!
From recipes and advice to the latest news and trends, there’s a magazine for every subject, hobby and interest. Readers love flipping through for inspiration or to learn something new, and they can take the experience digital by swiping to their heart’s content in the Libby app. With thousands to choose from, digital magazines are free in Libby and there’s never any holds or waiting on your favorite subscriptions.
[CLICK TO READ MORE]On May 1, 2023, the legacy OverDrive app will be discontinued on both Android and iOS devices. But don’t worry, the newer Libby app – also available for Android and iOS devices – is still accessible with your library card. Libby allows you to borrow ebooks and e-audiobooks to read and listen to on your phone or tablet. You can even send and read your borrowed ebooks to your Kindle! It’s free and easy to get started for new users and for those who have already used the OverDrive app in the past. Want to read on a computer? You can still use the browser version of OverDrive at cefls.overdrive.com!
