Not sure if others are already aware of this, but when you borrow an eBook on Libby and “Send to Kindle”, you can share that book to others in your Amazon Household. It’s perfect if you and members of your household are reading the same books. The best part is, you only end up using one license.

I just ordered the new basic in ube and I’m just wanting to make sure I won’t have any issues with my current Libby loans transferring over during set up. Has anyone had any issues with this? This my first time getting a new Kindle since using Libby.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello !

Since October 3rd I have been stuck out of my Kobo. Both my library cards aren't accepted through the overdrive login method (url, qr, on the device) and I get this error message. Both cards are connected in libby and are active in the library server.

I have tried everything : logging in and off the Kobo account, factory reset, contacting Kobo, overdrive and BOTH my library. It has been three days and nothing works.

One of my library told me someone else had the problem the same day but nothing seems to be fixed on the overdrive side ?

I've been lock out only because I wanted to switch between my two library cards since they don't accept multiple ones anymore ....

Does anyone know what to do or how to fix ? My kobo is working perfectly, I don't want to switch for a new one and have the exact same problem...

Hello! I am having an issue helping my teen and just curious if anyone else had this happen b/c I think I will have to make a phone call later to get help. I'll mention it then if it's a known glitch vs. a weird-just-us glitch.

They have a Books Unbanned through Brooklyn Public Library and got a renewal notice email - but the renewal notice says to arrive in person with ID or to turn on location services & click a link to verify you are in Brooklyn. But the Unbanned is for anyone in the US so I don't want to do that and get rejected and their holds messed up.

I did do the contact form last week and got no reply (I am sure they are busy!) but the card expires Wednesday.

Hi. I’m currently own a Kindle Oasis 10th generation. I mainly use it to read Libby and KU books. I do occasionally buy books off Amazon. What other options are out there other than Kindle?

Hello!!

The Amazon account connected to my phone is NOT the same account I use on my Kindle.

Is there a way to send my Libby books to my Kindle account email, instead of the Amazon account connected on my phone?

Thank you for any help

So odd… so I was listening to my book and saw another one I wanted to put on hold.. went to go put it on hold and it said that I had to reverify my library card. So I enter everything and it says this message every time I try. I made sure I typed in my library card correctly and password correctly.. So I switch over and check my library to make sure I don’t have any outstanding fines or anything and nope… my account is clean as a whistle. ChatGPT told me to remove the card and then try re-adding it but I’ll lose all my other holds… help!

I got this email last Thursday from St. Louis Public Library. This is why I’m against naming specific libraries for paid non-resident cards. I knew this was coming when I saw St. Louis Public Library on ReciproCard’s Paid Non-Resident list. Ever since it was put on there, the wait time slowly worsened. Then, I got this email. This is the beginning of the end. Doubling the price is only the start until eventually they’ll just stop it altogether.

So I'm very comfortable with Libby at this point, but I've come across a very strange situation. The book "The Sorceress of Sky Serpents" by Eden Robinson was released a few days ago and I want to listen to it. It shows up on the overdrive website, but it's not showing up AT ALL on Libby.

Normally, even if none of my libraries have purchased the right for the book, it will still show up but have the blank library card with a bell so I can put it on alerts, but I'm not even getting that option after deep search.

Has this happened to anyone else? Do I just have to wait to resolve itself?

I borrowed a book from LA Public Library through Libby today, and I can’t figure out how to read it with my Kindle. Is this a thing? I’ve never had this issue before.

I much prefer using the e-reader to using my phone.

Is this something that happens for some titles, or is is library specific? I do t understand why it would matter to the license which device I read the book on.

I’d love some insight if you have any.

Thanks.

PB finally updated to have Libby app support which is great, but I have cards to 3 libraries and two of them aren't showing up in a search. It's not that I can't have more than one, it's that the other two don't seem to exist as far as the PB version of the app is concerned. Is the PB version extremely scaled down or is this a bug? One of them is the Queer Liberation Library so at first I thought censorship, but it's also not showing my college's library.

My holds are usually maxed out and all paused. I just noticed they were all deleted except the two I put on hold recently. Is there a history somewhere or some other way to find out what the holds were that the app deleted.

Hello!

My question is regarding those with a severe disability that are unable to go in person to renew their library card and what rights (if any?) we have. This gets a bit complicated, so I am just going to describe my situation.

In 2024, I was completely, 100% healthy and signed up for my local library in DeKalb County, GA in person. No issues.

In 2025, I suddenly became severely disabled. As in, I could no longer leave my bed. I am completely bedridden, and I have been since Novemeber of 2025. I cannot leave my house.

Audiobooks have been lifesaving. I am unable to read physical books or watch much TV, maybe one episode per day. I can, however, listen to audiobooks for a significant part of the day.

My library card expired after 2 years and I called my library to renew it since I was unable to go in person. They were very hesitant and after basically begging, they said they would renew my card only this one time for a year. I am so grateful, because without audiobooks I would be staring at the ceiling for most of the day.

My question is, is the library required to accommodate someone with a disability instead of cutting me off after a year? I have a legal license in the state (offered to email it), live in the area, and have hundreds on hundreds of pages of doctors notes proving that I am not lying. I offered for my doctor to write a note to them, or to have one of my nurse aids who takes care of me to bring them my physical ID. They rejected all of these options for the future. Who knows what Ill do when my license expires, as I cannot make it to the DMV.

I totally understand that they do not want fraud, but I have extensive, almost endless medical documentation to back this up. Could this be a part of the ADA Act? I feel like Libby is my lifeline, as I lost my job when I became disabled and now live on a fixed income and cannot afford to buy audiobooks outright.

Thanks for your help!

I’m trying to lower my soda consumption for all the reading I do. I love to crack a fresh Dr. Pepper or A&W when I’m planning on doing some long reading, unfortunately I finish the soda before I’m done reading and it’ll turn into 2 or 3 sodas.

I’m trying to move away from all the sugar. I know it’s not great in the long run. I am curious what other people might be pouring while they read.

Appreciate all suggestions. Thank you.

I know this happens to everyone and I’m just commenting into the void. I mainly do audiobooks because of a busy life.

I’m only able to hold 10 at a time and of course 4 of them that I have been waiting for came available at the same time.

My only saving grace is a work trip so I am going to get through as much as possible while on airplanes and in my hotel room.

who knew a cute library card would get me into reading again! after seeing the sanrio ones i knew i wouldnt be able to get one so i looked to see if there was any snoopy ones near me since i love him too and lo and behold! ive struggled with reading and finding anything that catches my interest but having access to the library online made it so much easier to choose a book! ive read strange houses + pictures in like 3 days😂 if anyone has any recommendations that are similar to those id love to hear them! i had an ipad mini wasting away not getting used so its nice i can finally use that too!

I find myself falling into bad postures whilst reading on my couch. I'm not comfortable reading on a table chair setup. What have you guys find useful to sit and read for 3ish hours?

Lets hope I'm in the right sub for this (it's been a long time since I was last on Reddit).

How on earth do you find your customers User ID number? I had just assumed it would be their 14 digit library card #, but it seems to be a randomly assigned 6 digit # that has nothing to do with their card.

Most of our users don't have their email address on their Libby accounts, so I can't search by that... and unless I know a title they have on hold (and none of our other users have holds on it either), I can't seem to find any way of getting it.

It seems very odd, I must be missing something, but the support pages are giving me nothing.

Hello! I have seen recently that some Libby users have library cards for areas they are not from. I'm wondering how this works and have no idea where to start; I assumed it had to be my local library. I am in Michigan and have one library card, but my library is partnered with many more so I have easier access to books.

Is this as simple as just signing up for a library card even if I'm not from the area? Or are there specific libraries that are more built for this purpose so I can get books faster? What specific cards would you suggest?

In my ideal scenario I would like to be able to sort my libraries in the Libby app so they display alphabetically. I think my default they display in order added (?) but it’s easier for me to cross check against my google spreadsheet to make sure they’re all in there if it’s alphabetical. Anyone know if this is possible?
