Other features include a sleep timer, adding and editing bookmarks, skipping back or ahead 15 seconds, or using the bar at the bottom to adjust how far back or ahead you want to move the audio. Libby has a nice user interface that makes it easy to listen to and control your audiobook within the app.įrom the main screen, you can adjust the playback speed, choosing from either one of the preset options or using the sliding scale on the right to fine-tune the speed you want.

You can choose “audiobooks” and use the “refine” option to choose everything that is “available now.”Īs you can see, in this one library, there are almost 5,000 audiobooks that are available right now! You can also refine your search for specific genres, languages, and content levels. If the book is available, you’ll have the option to “Borrow” and start listening immediately or “Place Hold,” and you’ll be notified when the title is available.Īnother great option, especially if you’re looking to browse audiobooks and want something available now, you can use the “explore with filters” option on the search page. When the results come up, if there is an audiobook available for the title, you’ll see a pair of headphones below the cover, with the total listening time. If you’re looking for a specific title, you can use the search feature to type in the title or author.

One great feature of Libby is how easy it is to search for and find audiobooks, whether you’re looking for a specific title, just browsing, or want to scroll through curated collections. Libby has many wonderful features, but for the purposes of this article, I’ll focus mainly on the ones that apply to audiobooks (although most features also apply to ebooks!).
