App guide
Libby, the library app
Children search or browse a participating library’s catalog, borrow an ebook or audiobook, open it in the built-in reader/player, place holds, and return or renew loans. They can download titles for offline reading/listening when the library license permits it. This is store/vendor behavior to confirm hands-on, not a claim of testing.
