You have access to a wealth of e-books, e-audiobooks and e-magazines through Wisconsin’s Digital Library whose app is Libby (formerly OverDrive).
Wisconsin’s Digital Library is available to all public libraries throughout Wisconsin through the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium.
The titles you find on Wisconsin’s Digital Library are the exact same offerings as those found in the Libby app! The difference is some people prefer to read or listen to titles on a desktop computer via a web browser. To enjoy the exact content on a smartphone or tablet, use the Libby app! Read more about how to take advantage of the Libby app on supported portable devices.
