Did you know that you can watch movies, take classes, and attend concerts with your library card? As if your library didn’t get you tons of free stuff already. These are just a few of the free resources you can access in the Libby app – right along with your favorite ebooks and audiobooks.
As you’re scrolling through Libby, you may have noticed an “Extras” section. Some libraries offer these extra learning or entertainment resources – and many offer several! Every library’s offerings are different, so check to see what your individual library offers. (This is your sign to add more than one library card in Libby. More library cards = more options!)
To get started with an Extra, tap a provider, then tap Get. This will take you out of Libby to get access to the service. Your library card gives you free access, but some providers may require you to create an account before you can use their service.
Extras don't count against your borrowing limit in Libby. Learn more about borrowing or accessing Libby Extras.
As mentioned above, every library offers different services to fit their community’s needs, so check in the Libby app or directly on your library’s website to see what’s available to you.
Here are just a few of the Libby Extras you may be able to access with your library card:
