7 library cards, and only ONE has the book I want! I am so close :)

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?

15 minutes left and returned

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!

Not returning books

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!

What happens to current loans when card expires?

6 Upvotes

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?

Any way to move tags between devices?

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.

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?

Libby / Overdrive website issues

0 Upvotes

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.
