Download the Libby app to borrow recreational audiobooks and e-books to read on your phone or tablet. The Imperial Libby collection provides 1,400 audiobooks and e-books including bestsellers, prize-winning fiction, history, health and wellbeing, plus titles in Spanish, French, German and Italian.

You can borrow up to 10 titles for 14 days. Titles expire automatically at the end of the loan period, although you can renew a loan if not required by another reader, or return it early.

If someone else has borrowed the title you want, just place a hold on it and Libby will notify you when it becomes available.

If we don't have a title you want in Libby you can use Library Search to search the complete Imperial Library collection of recreational titles, including print as well as e-books and audiobooks. Also, in Libby you can place a ‘Notify me’ tag, to receive a notification if a title becomes available in the future.

The Imperial Libby collection is only available to staff and students.
