October 24, 2019 — Did you know you can borrow thousands of e-books and audiobooks easily and instantly, for free, just using the device in your hands?
Libby is the one-tap reading app you can download, free, using your Springfield-Greene County Library card. Libby is provided by OverDrive, the service that lets you borrow digital content from the library.
