I really enjoy Libby because you can always borrow a set number of book at a time, and you don't need to wait until the next month to borrow another set of books, unlike Hoopla. I also like that if you have more than one library card for different libraries, you can switch between them. I also enjoy the read with Kindle feature as well.

From your experience, is it annoying to wait for borrowing books? Maybe for both Libby and Hoopla, if you use it too. I heard we could wait until months. I’m planning to get paid library card from OCLS cause I don’t live in America and my country doesn’t have library that support digitalised library like for Libby or Hoopla.

I've never had to wait for a hold on Hoopla, I think most libraries offer simultaneous use on that platform! When it comes to Libby, they have so many things that I want to read and/or listen to that it doesn't bug me too much to wait on a certain book, because another one is always available :) Especially when collections offer "lucky day" holds of popular titles, which is a great way to skip the lines. Hope this helps!

What about patrons who live near libraries that do not have many titles. How do you change from libraries on Libby? We have three small towns nearby. It seems each one of the libraries offers different titles. How to do I change from one library to another?

As long as you have a card or e-card from a library, you can add multiple collections!
@randomlibrarian3 жыл бұрын
Underthe center home button, a screen will pop up with notifications and "your libraries" under that section there is an option for "add a library." The big city library near me offers e-cards so that people who don't live near enough for their physical collections take advantage of their online offerings- I am not sure if that is a common process, buti hope so!

You might be able to connect it to your car speakers through Bluetooth, an aux cord, or downloading it as an app (if your car has that capability!) I don't have a car to test on, good luck! 💕

the idea that a digital copy is in limited supply is really dumb..thanks libraries
@randomlibrarian2 жыл бұрын
I completely understand this frustration, but would say more “thanks publishers” since they’re the ones who restrict sharing and make it prohibitively expensive for libraries to purchase DRM-free copies of anything digital 🤷🏼♀️
