1. Why should you buy ebooks or audiobooks if you could borrow them from the library? 2. Why should you use different apps for different libraries, if you could use Libby?
Developed by OverDrive, Libby is a next-generation application to manage the content you borrow not from one, but multiple libraries. It’s possible because you can register more than one library card.
After signing up, it takes just a few taps to find and borrow an ebook or audiobook. You can download audiobooks for offline use, but you can also stream them if you prefer to save space on your iPhone or iPad.
The greatest thing about Libby is that all the content from different libraries appears in a unified shelf, no matter which format they are. So, if your connected libraries offer audiobooks, you can borrow them just like ebooks. And you can play them within the app.
Unlike apps that offer access to free classic books, Libby is a great way to listen to free audiobooks of newly released books and hot bestsellers.
The catalog of ebooks and audiobooks offered by your public library may not be as extensive as Audible (and you may wait in a queue to borrow most popular titles), but it’s a simple, enjoyable – and most importantly – legal way to listen to audiobooks for free.

Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
by ELIZABETH GILBERT
Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack Gilbert, who was not related to me – unfortunately for me.
Jack Gilbert was a great poet, but if you’ve never heard of him, don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault. He never much cared about being known. But I knew about him, and I loved him dearly from a respectful distance, so let me tell you about him.
Jack Gilbert was born in Pittsburgh in 1925 and grew up in the midst of that city’s smoke, noise, and industry. He worked in factories and steel mills as a young man, but was called from an early age to write poetry. He answered the call without hesitation. He became a poet the way other men become monks: as a devotional practice, as an act of love, and as a lifelong commitment to the search for grace and transcendence. I think this is probably a very good way to become a poet. Or to become anything, really, that calls to your heart and brings you to life.
