New app for Magazines and Audiobooks

Libby Wordmark

 

We are pleased to announce that more than 3,000 popular magazines and audiobooks are now available to download and read on any device 24/7. Users with a library card can read digital magazines on Libby, the award-winning reading app from OverDrive, or by visiting Downloads – Awen Libraries.

Digital magazines and audiobooks through Libby have no waiting lists or reservations, do not count towards checkout limits and provide readers the option to renew their selections. Awen Libraries borrowers can browse lists of magazines within the app and search by format to find available titles.

Named by Popular Mechanics as one of the top 20 apps of the decade, Libby connects first-time users and experienced readers alike with Awen Libraries’ digital collection. Readers can browse and borrow titles instantly and then start reading for free with a valid library card. This service is compatible with all major PCs and devices, iPhone®, iPad®, Android ™ and Chromebook ™ phones and tablets. All titles automatically expire at the end of the loan period and there are no late fees. Readers can also download titles to Libby for offline use.

To get started, download Libby or visit our Downloads page to access magazines and audiobooks via the web browser.
