As people increasingly read and listen to books on their smartphone or tablet, they’re discovering one of the best resources is their local public library. Archuleta County residents can access a wide selection of popular digital ebooks and audiobooks free from Ruby Sisson Memorial Library.
With a library card, members of the community can borrow from the digital collection by downloading Libby, the award-winning reading app from OverDrive, or visiting https://coloradodc.overdrive.com/
All of us here at the Library are thrilled to add Libby to our suite of electronic resources. Libby is incredibly user-friendly and the content selection is outstanding. While we’re going through construction at our physical location, it’s important to remember that the digital library is always open.
Named one of Popular Mechanics’ 20 Best Apps of the Decade, Libby seamlessly connects first-time users and experienced readers with Ruby Sisson Library’s digital collection. This locally selected collection offers ebooks and audiobooks including bestsellers and new releases. Readers of all ages can select from virtually every subject ranging from mystery, romance, children’s, business and more.
Readers may start reading or listening for free with a valid Ruby Sisson Memorial Library card. This service is compatible with all major computers and devices, iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets and Chromebooks. Through Libby, readers can also “send to Kindle”.
All titles will 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.
