The e-books, e-audiobooks and e-magazines of Libby (formerly OverDrive) make up Wisconsin’s Digital Library. 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 prefer to use the Wisconsin’s Digital Library page on a desktop computer via a web browser and enjoy titles directly or via download. To enjoy the same, 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. Note: the classic OverDrive app has been discontinued. If you currently use the legacy OverDrive app and need assistance, visit https://help.overdrive.com.
For Kindle Readers
Kindle Readers only support OverDrive e-books. Kindle Fire, Fire HD, or Fire HDX tablets support OverDrive/Libby e-books and e-audiobooks. SEE: Amazon’s Kindle App Help.
