Libby eBooks Now Available

Friends of Myrtle Creek Library is pleased to offer free online ebooks via Libby!

With Libby, you can enjoy free ebooks, digital audiobooks, and magazines from your library. All you need is a library card and a compatible device.

You can use Libby on iOS devices, Android devices, Amazon Fire tablets and Kindles, and on Windows, Mac and Chromebook computers.

You can check out up to 6 ebooks at a time, and reserve up to 6 more at a time. Libby treats ebooks like physical copies, so some have only one copy available for circulation, while others have multiple copies ready for checkout or reserve.

To get started, see the Libby online Help page at Getting Started With Libby .

We hope you enjoy this service! Please let us know what you think.

  7. On the Welcome screen, optionally tap Yes, I Read With Kindle to have your ebooks sent to your Kindle.
