When was the last time you thought about going to your local library to check out a book?
The Libby app connects local libraries and the thousands of eBooks and audiobooks on their digital bookshelves 24/7.
The Libby app is developed by OverDrive. To date, more than 39,000 libraries and schools in 70 countries are part of the service. A catalog of over 2 million eBooks, audiobooks and videos are in the collection covering fiction and non-fiction titles across every imaginable subject.
Small business owners looking to learn or brush-up in a particular field can find thousands of business and business-related titles to read. In the US and Canada, Libby connects readers with libraries in major metropolitan areas. This includes the New York Public Library, Boston Public Library, Los Angeles Public Library, Toronto Public Library and many others.
The New York Public Library, for example, has more than 300,000 ebooks, audiobooks and videos available with OverDrive. This includes 7,625 books on business, 1,167 on finance, 367 on economics and many other topics related to business.
As free apps go, Libby has got to be one of the most resourceful tools out there. USA Today and Google Playhave said as much by naming it one of the best apps of 2017.
