Getting Started

When you download the Libby app to your device or open it on your computer, you will be taken through a series of steps to help you easily set up your account.

You'll be asked if you have a library card.  Tap or click on the Yes button.  (If you don't have a library card yet, apply here.)

On the next page choose "Search for a Library."

Type "Camden County" into the search box.  The first result will be the South Jersey Regional Library Cooperative.  This is the group of libraries that we belong to that share the Libby collection. 

You'll be asked to sign in.

Enter your library card number.  Then enter your PIN.

You will then be signed in and will be able to check out items from Libby.

You can choose if you want to read with Kindle.

Now you're ready to search the collection.  You will not need to complete these steps again.  

Using the App

Finding Titles and Checking Out

You can browse the collection, do a search, or use a curated guide.  To see only titles you can check out right away, tap or click on the "available now" button at the top of the page.  Choose from eBooks and Audiobooks.

Depending on your device you will either choose "Open Book" or "Read With..."

You can choose to continue with Libby or use Kindle for eBooks.  Some devices (like the Kobo) can be used by downloading an epub version and using Adobe Digital Editions to transfer the book to your device.
