Libby

Body

Libby is a mobile platform to access eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines. Items that you check out with Overdrive are available on Libby and vice versa. Libby is currently available for Apple, Android, and Kindle Fire devices. You can also access the desktop version on Windows and Macs.

  • Occasionally, Libby may ask you to verify your library. Follow the instructions on how to do so at this link. You may be asked for your PIN, which is the last 4 digits of your phone number.
  • If you are having trouble with this step, try adding a new library card by searching for the Santa Barbara Public Library.

Check out up to 10 titles at a time. Place up to 10 holds.
