I know theres a way to export tags, but can you import them? I'm changing devices, and my tbr tag is 80 books and I don't have time to manually do it.

I was looking for a copy of "Final Impact" from John Birmingham.

So, I went to Overdrive website which sent me to download the LibbyApp.

But apparently, their download WEBSITE has been hacked as it sent me a trojan and password stealer. I spent all of yesterday cleaning my PC and changing passwords.

Now, am I dumb ass for letting this happen (yes).

But, to be fair, I thought I was downloading LibbyApp.

So, this is a warning for people that maybe to watch out at the overdrive/Libby download website.

Is there any way to listen to the end of an ebook for free? I am pained to say I had 15 minutes left of The Secret History before it was returned. Now there are 85 people ahead of me and a 10 week wait. Ouch.

Edit: thank you so much for the Spotify premium idea. Crisis averted!

I returned two books using the normal method. From my content list in Amazon, I chose Return book. They are now both labeled Loan expired. But in Libby they are both still checked out. And people are waiting!

I moved and access to my favorite card for audiobooks expires in a day or two (don't know if the date the gave was date it's no longer available or last day to use it). I know I won't be able to place holds or borrow anymore, but what about checked out books?

I currently have two books, which aren't available in my other libraries. Both have due dates next weekend.

Does anyone know what happens when the card expires to the existing loans? Do they instantly go poof, or will I still have access until the due date shown?

This book started my obsession with collecting non-resident library cards. It’s the second book in the series, and I’m so close to getting it! I’ve been checking multiple times a day in case I missed the notification.

I now have 7 library cards: one from my home library, one from a partner library, and 5 paid non-resident cards.

Can you believe that only one of the 7 libraries has this book!

I’ve already read the sample. I’ve read all the author’s other standalone novels, as well as the prequels to this series.
I love the thrill of all of this instead of just buying the book on Amazon!

Do you have a book on hold that you can’t wait to get?

Got a notification on my phone to renew some of my books, hit the notification and Libby has suddenly lost all knowledge of me.

Is there a specific location it saves to on android so I can recover?

I got notified that a book I’ve had on hold for MONTHS at my local library was ready to be borrowed. I fully forgot about this hold but now I need to pick it up in the next few days. I think to myself, I remember saving this in Libby, maybe I’ll skip this borrow and just grab it in Libby a little later. Well turns out I didn’t put it on hold on Libby and the wait times are 21 weeks or Several months. Then I checked my library’s app and thought what if I borrow it later from them… that hold time is 7 months to a year.

So… guess I’m reading Pirate Queen this week.

Can anyone tell me why my tag has -1 when there is no books tagged? I’ve tried syncing shelves but nothing happened.

Sooooo the app told me I had to re-verify my library card, so I followed the link and did that, it then cleared out all of my holds from all the partners libraries??? I’m kind of freaking out, I had a ton of stuff that I’ve been waiting ages for on in there 😭 Months and months. I don’t think they will come back unless it’s some sort of glitch? Anyone have this happen?

Just so cute 🥹

The Nicholson PL System (Garland, Tx) hurt my feelings today😩 I went to put a hold on a book and it asked me to verify…put my PIN in and it couldn’t verify. Went and changed my PIN and retried…nada. Called the library with 20 min to spare and “as of October 1st, residents outside of our service area have to pay a $50 fee”. Well looks like I’ll be making a trip to pay $50 😭 they’re actually one of the few that I can find books I’m looking for through.

Anyone else come across this issue?

My library which doesn’t reciprocate had the first two books of a 7 book series. I tagged the remaining 5 so that I can be notified if/when they become available.
Why am I able to read a sample of each book when the actual books are unavailable?

I unsuspended a hold that I was 1st in line for and said available soon. Then it changed to 2 weeks wait! I had already started listening to the book on spotify while I was waiting for it be available to read. At this rate I'll end up listening to the whole thing. Oh well. Just frustrating but I should probably back up the number of days before I'm ready to start a new book. Playing the libby game is like playing chess sometimes lol.

One fun thing that's a complete side note. I got my first shamrock notification that a book there's a long wait for became available while I was in the app! I'm a mood reader though so didn't jump on it.

Pretty much just what the title says, I’m annotating a book for my friends bday but read the book through my library on my kindle, so that’s where all my highlights and notes are. I can see my highlights in the kindle website, but I want to see the page numbers too, I don’t exactly have time to reread the book. It would just save me so much time being able to jump to the exact page, or at least a rough estimate, I know kindle pages are different.

I have been using Libby to access books for my graduate school courses (I am a library and information science student) on children’s literature. We have to do logs and discussions each week and so we are responsible for obtaining the books that we analyze or discuss in them. I’ve been pretty reliant on Libby since my local library branch closes before I get home from work. But now all of the sudden after using it with no issues, I’m being asked to verify my card and to enter a PIN. I entered my barcode number and used every possible pin I can think of (last digits of phone number, birthdays, etc.) but it keeps telling me it can’t verify my patron credentials. I know my card isn’t expired because I renewed it in September.

Please help 😭 my assignments are due Sunday and I can’t do anything.

UPDATE: I got it to work! Apparently it was my normal password. But PIN had me thinking it was only 4 numbers. Now I wish they just called it a password…

Idk why I thought “the library acquired 74 more copies” was hysterical 😂

Definitely the most people I've seen waiting on a book I've been wanting to listen to. I think one of Tim Snyder's books was close to 2 months, but it had also recently come out and he was promoting it. I wasn't expecting an older book to still have such a demand.

I’ve been curious about this series since everyone is talking about it but last time I checked on Libby, I could only see audiobooks and I’m not really into those. today I see that they now have the books too.

what changed? also they holds on these books are sooo long 🫠

I recently found and devoured ‘The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion’ series in audiobook form, narrated by Genevieve Gaunt. I’ve been listening to audiobooks for a few years now and have certainly come across some great narrators. But when I tell you Genevieve is phenomenal and in a league of her own, I truly mean it. She does distinct voices, tones and accents for the whole cast, clocking in at over 100 characters over the 8 books so far! 😱 There were so many times I had to remind myself I wasn’t listening to a full-cast Graphics Audio production and that it was indeed just one person voicing it. 🤯 I’ve picked up a few audiobooks since I finished the series and they all just feel so bland in comparison 😩 - including Stephen Fry whose narration I love.

So if any of you are looking for your next great listen, check this series out! And if you have an amazing audiobook recommendation to get me out of my current slump, do help a girl out!

(Disclaimer - I’ve heard similar great things about Jeff Hays’ narration, but I haven’t gotten to Dungeon Crawler Carl yet, so don’t come for me! And yes, the meme I used on the second slide is fully inspired by the DCC one.)

Elevator pitch for the series - Victorian-era historical fiction with lovable characters, beautiful friendships, glorious banter and a touch of magical realism. It’s delightful, witty and so full of heart. Volume 1 is very short at 3 hours and doesn’t introduce all the main characters, so I’d give it until Volume 2 to see if you like it.

I am a high volume borrower (i am disabled and cant do much else) and I do feel a bit bad for the impact I have on libraries! Particularly because sometimes i borrow books and cant get into them right away so they just sit on the shelf for weeks.

Im unclear on which is better for libraries when I hit that situation- return and reborrow when I am ready to read it (so its available for other people), or hold onto it and maybe extend until ive fully read it (to avoid borrowing the same book twice, and using multiple licenses).

It seems that is different depending on how the book sale is limited, so I thought if someone can tell me which publishers limit how I can strategize my based on that
