New Libby Reading App Provides 24/7 Access to Popular and Educational E-books and Audiobooks

The Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ, Library is expanding access to a wide variety of digital books for curriculum support or leisure reading. Now, students, faculty, and staff can borrow and read the school’s growing collection of e-books and audiobooks through the Libby app.

With Libby, students can conveniently access thousands of popular and educational e-books and digital audiobooks from the school’s collection that can support coursework or entertain. The collection includes a variety of academic subjects such as business, science and technology, as well as thrillers, romances and other genres. These reading materials are available for use on any device, anywhere, anytime.

The Libby app is available for university students, faculty and staff to download through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on phones and tablets, and on Chromebooks that support the Google Play Store. The digital collection can also be accessed in web browsers at https://libbyapp.com/library/nnyoverdrive. Readers can also enjoy digital books through Libby using their Kindle devices [U.S. only]. All titles automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and there are no late fees. Readers can also download titles onto Libby for offline use.

Libby was built by OverDrive, the leading digital reading platform for a growing network of 81,000 colleges and universities, schools and public libraries, including Canisius University. Users can expand their collection even further by adding their local public library, including the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, the Nioga Library System and the New York Public Library.

To get started enjoying ebooks, audiobooks and more, download Libby or visit https://libbyapp.com/library/nnyoverdrive.
