Libby

I’ve wasted away the best years of my life staring at my phone not reading

I’ve been on a Libby kick recently. I find the app somewhat hard to navigate and the search engine less than excellent, to be kind. For example, I typed in “100 Years of Solitude,” which yielded four results: Cien años de soledad, The Last Interview: Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Crime and Punishment. I assumed this meant my online library did not, somehow have a copy of One Hundred Years of Solitude, yet writing out “one-hundred” churned up far more useful results.

Libby is a library app. Libby, the library. Lib. Get it? Do you get it?
