Ebooks for the win. I “go to” my library all the time by finding an ebook on Libby and downloading to a reader
My local library doesn’t use Libby, and it makes me want to riot every time I think about it. They use another app called cloudLibrary, which is inferior in every way; It doesn’t even have e-reader support. You’re forced to read the books on your phone or desktop, because cloudLibrary refuses to integrate with third-party services like Amazon or B&N for kindle or nook. You can’t even download the ebooks. You have to view them in the app or on your desktop browser, and it basically loads a page at a time.
Needless to say, I own library cards to all of the libraries in the surrounding cities, because all of those use Libby.
