20.09.25. Libby has revamped its Hold system
Libby, a popular online app for free access to books from your local library via e-reader or phone, has made significant changes to its hold system. In Libby, if the e-book or audiobook you want is already in use by other readers, you can place a hold on it. This means you join the queue and when it's your turn (the book becomes "available"), Libby will notify you that you can borrow it. How can an e-book be held? As it's not a physical book. The reason is that the library purchases the rights to e-books from the publishers with certain number of licenses (e.g., 3 copies). Previously, Libby allowed to "suspend" this hold for 7–180 days (thus you could stay in the queue but skip your spot while you are busy). Now the system has changed: if you suspend a hold, you must remove the hold yourself, otherwise it will simply "expire" in a year.
2025. Libby adds new AI discovery feature
OverDrive's Libby is launching a new feature designed to make finding your next read easier and more fun. The feature is called Inspire Me and it uses AI trained on each library’s unique digital collection (the developers say this is important because each library topic is unique while other book discovery services typically build a virtual profile of interests across different categories). The recommendations are based on the user’s previously saved books in Libby. User is initially presented with five relevant books, each accompanied by a short description of how the book fits his interests. The feature can be found by tapping the Libby icon in the center of the menu at the bottom of the app.
