Borrowing eBooks and AudioBooks on Libby

 

To access eBooks and AudioBooks on a personal device, students should download the Libby app onto their device (tablet or cell phone). In Libby, click on Add a Library and add Calgary Public Library.

To access eBooks and AudioBooks on a shared device, students should access Libby, through the Calgary Public Library. Once an eBook or AudioBook has been borrowed, choose Read now in browser so that students can pick up where they left off when they log in to Libby on any device. Borrowed items will be automatically returned when the loan expires.

 

Reminder: CPL purchases a certain number of digital copies and can lend that number out, just like hard copies. If no copies are available, students can place a hold. They may need to add an email address for notification when copy is available.

 

Borrowing eBooks and Audiobooks on Teen Book Cloud

·         Everyone uses the same Username and Password for this resource

·         Titles are a bit older but still a great collection

A reminder that the email you use is your edu account and it’s their entire email address.

As always, don’t hesitate to let me know if you need help or if you’d like me to demonstrate anything to your child. Alternatively, when at the library a staff can help you as well. 

Have a great week!Tasha
