Tips for Traveling with Libby
Tips for traveling with Libby!
Libby is a library reading app for e-books, audiobooks and magazines that is available from the App Store or Google Play. If you’re new to Libby you can find some tips here to help you get started.
Download before you go
When you’re traveling and want to read or listen to books on the go, we recommend having your books downloaded before you set off.
Many users have the Libby app set to automatically download titles when they are borrowed (it’s the default). To check that your loans are downloaded, you can go to your library shelf 
and view your loans.
When your item is downloaded you will see a checked box next to your loan.
If you’re not set up to download titles automatically, you will see this 
next to your borrowed loan. To download the title, tap on the icon to download it manually.
How to manage holds before you go
Too many books and not enough time?? If you’re waiting for some titles and don’t want them to arrive when you’re not ready to borrow them, you can suspend your holds. Suspending a hold lets you move up a title’s waitlist without the title becoming available for you. If you reach #1 in line, you’ll be in the first position to get the title once your suspension ends. To suspend a hold, go to your Shelf > Holds > Manage Hold > Suspend Hold. Use the slider (drag the slide bar left or right) to determine how long you want to suspend your hold for, then tap Suspend Hold.
If you want to remove the suspension, go to your Shelf > Holds > Manage Hold > Suspended Hold, then use the slider and drag the slider bar all the way to the left until it shows ‘Active’. Save the change by tapping ‘Update Hold’.
