Getting started with Libby on your Mac is easy. Simply head over to libbyapp.com in your Chrome, Safari, or Firefox browser and log in using your library card number. Once logged in, you can start browsing titles from the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium or other library systems that are supported by Libby. You’ll be able to search for books by author, title, or keyword, as well as filter results by genre or format (ebooks & audiobooks). When you find something you like all you have to do is select it and click “borrow” to add it to your digital library shelf.

Once added to your shelf, the title will be available for 21 days before returning itself automatically – no need to worry about late fees! You can read ebooks in the Libby app itself or send them to other compatible apps like Kindle or Apple Books if desired. The same goes for audiobooks – they can be played directly in Libby or sent over to your favorite music players like iTunes or Spotify.

Libby also allows you to keep track of what books you’ve borrowed so there’s no need for paper receipts or keeping notes about when items are due back. And if something does come up where a book needs to be returned early – say someone else wants it – just delete it from your shelf and it will be available again for other people to borrow instantly.

So don’t wait any longer! Download Libby today and start exploring all of the titles available at your local library!
