Meet Libby, the library reading app.

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

When you open Libby for the first time, you'll search for your library. Then, you can explore the collection and borrow titles or place holds instantly.

On your Shelf, you'll find all your loans, holds, and tags.

By default, loans are automatically downloaded for offline use when you're on Wi-Fi.

Your loans are returned automatically on their due dates, so you never need to worry about late fees.

Tap Manage Loan to see more options for each title (like returning early).

Tap a title to open it and start reading. If you belong to a library in the United States, you'll see the option to send most ebooks to Kindle, or to start reading in Libby.

Use the footer to search, visit your library, access your Shelf, and see your timeline. You can also open your current read.

In the Libby menu, you can see your notifications, add a library, get help, and more.

With Sora, you can get free ebooks and audiobooks from your school.

Digital books are automatically returned on their due dates, so you never need to worry about late fees.

When you open Sora for the first time, find your school or enter a setup code, if your school has one. Then, sign in.

On the Home tab, you'll see any books your teachers assigned to you, along with books you've borrowed. You'll also see your recently defined words, notes, and highlights.

To find and borrow books, go to the Explore tab. You can browse subjects or search for a title, author, or series.

Then, borrow a book and start reading with a single tap. You can always get back to your current read using the circle at the bottom of the app.

In the Explore tab, you can also place holds, read samples, and add tags.

You'll find all your loans on your Shelf. If you're on Wi-Fi, books automatically download for offline use. If you're using mobile data, you can stream books until you're on Wi-Fi.

Tap Options next to a book to renew it, return it early, and more. Students in the U.S. can also send books to a Kindle.

Your Shelf also has your holds, tagged books, and activity.

When you find a title you like, you can borrow it or place it on hold – all you need is a library card.
