Libby, formerly known as OverDrive, is a collection of e-books and audiobooks containing works of popular fiction and non-fiction. Students may access the books through the Libby app on their phones or tablets. Books may be checked out for 7, 14, or 21 days and are returned automatically. Books may be renewed. Follow these instructions to set up the Libby app and get started checking out books. 

The Libby Collection offers the following e-books and audiobooks:

• Read-Alongs: Read-Alongs are for beginning ESL students who want to listen to an audiobook that plays along while reading the print book. Students control when to turn the page, the volume and speed, and when to rewind and pause the narration.​ 
• E-Books: Students may read e-books in the Libby app or the Kindle app.
• Audiobooks: Students may slow down the speed of the audiobook narration.
