Libby is a free reading app developed by OverDrive, launched in 2017, that lets users borrow e-books, audiobooks, and digital magazines from participating public libraries using just a library card. It replaced OverDrive's older app as the company's primary consumer-facing interface, offering a simplified borrowing and holds experience, adjustable audiobook playback speed, and Send to Kindle for compatible e-book loans. Features include offline downloads for borrowed titles, automatic return at the end of a loan period (no late fees), personalized recommendations, and support for multiple library card accounts within one app. Libby targets library patrons who want digital access to their local library's collection without visiting a branch. Available on iOS, Android, and web (via libbyapp.com) as well as Kindle e-readers for compatible titles, Libby itself is free; access to titles depends on a user's public library membership and that library's licensed digital collection.

Libby is one of the rare apps that makes a genuinely great product out of a public good: it connects directly to your local library card and lets you borrow ebooks and audiobooks for free, with a clean, tasteful interface that puts most paid reading apps to shame. Tagging, tags for series, and Kindle-send support add real convenience. The obvious limitation isn't Libby's fault so much as the licensing model behind it, popular titles often carry long holds lists since libraries only own a limited number of digital copies, and availability depends entirely on which library system you use. For anyone with an active library card, though, Libby delivers outsized value at zero direct cost.
