Wisconsin’s Digital Library
Wisconsin’s Digital Library—powered by OverDrive—is your free gateway to thousands of ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines, accessible via the Libby app (iOS, Android, Kindle Fire) or at LibbyApp.com. You can borrow up to 10 ebooks/audiobooks and place up to 10 holds at a time. Magazines do not count toward your limits and usually have no waitlists. Most titles are available for one-at-a-time checkout, but some are accessible to all users simultaneously. Lucky Day titles—popular new releases—are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with 7-day loans and a limit of two at a time. Renew eligible items if no one is waiting, or return early to help others get access sooner. Use search filters to find “Available Now” titles, manage cards, and customize your experience.
