Libby Makes It Easy

While you can stream digital magazines on your desktop/laptop computer whenever you are connected to the Internet, Libby, OverDrive's free app, makes accessing digital collections a snap. We recommend this option for the best magazine borrowing and reading experience. Please be aware that digital magazines will not stay on your device indefinitely.

Handy Tips

  • Make sure you install the Libby app on your mobile device. Once the app is open, select Burlington Public Library and enter your library card number.
  • Download the magazine when connected to Wi-Fi instead of using your cellular data to avoid any charges.
  • Be patient when downloading. Magazines have large files and may take a few minutes to download.
  • Sign up to get notifications when the latest edition is ready to borrow.
