Libby (via your local library) — borrow e‑books and audiobooks for free

Libby, powered by OverDrive, allows UK public library members to borrow e‑books and audiobooks at no charge using their existing library card. If your local library participates, you download the Libby app or use the website, sign in with your library card number and PIN, and borrow digital titles for a limited loan period without payment. It’s a longstanding free way to access fiction, non‑fiction and children’s books on phones, tablets and e‑readers through participating UK libraries.
