Libby by Overdrive
Libby, by Overdrive is one of our reading apps available to you. Libby is available for both Android and Apple iOS. You can also access Libby from a computer. Libby has e-books, e-audiobooks, and magazines. To use Libby, you will need a CWMARS library card (this includes Hubbard Memorial Library cards). This app also requires a password or pin. When you registered for a Ludlow library card, we set your password to be your last name in all capital letters. If that does not work, we can reset your password for you over the phone.

- Boston Public Library
