Borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines to read on your phone or tablet using the Libby app by OverDrive. You can even send and read your borrowed ebooks to your Kindle ereader (U.S. only)! It’s free and easy to get started. Learn more at overdrive.com/apps/libby/.

Libby for Kindle Fire Tablets

Libby is now available to download from the Amazon Appstore. Going forward, users with Amazon Fire tablets should download Libby directly from the Amazon Appstore instead of manually sideloading the app. Users with OverDrive’s Libby APK on their Fire tablet can continue to use that version. If a user would like to switch to the Amazon Appstore version of the app, they can follow these steps. Note: Users who switch from the APK version to the Amazon Appstore version of Libby may lose their Libby timeline activity, search history, and app customizations. They will not lose their loans, holds, or tags.

Boundless (transition from Axis 360)

Baker & Taylor is sunsetting the legacy Axis 360 app and transitioning users to Boundless. This change took place at the end of September

What is Boundless?
Boundless is Baker & Taylor’s reimagined digital service for libraries. An ecosystem that provides patrons with digital content like ebooks and audio as well as programming like never before. Built from the ground up on the latest app and web technologies, Boundless is intuitive, easy to use and fun, helping libraries meet the reading and learning needs of their communities. You can learn more about Boundless here.

If I am currently using Axis 360, what should I do?
End users of Axis 360 will receive in app messaging to alert them of this change so they can prepare. As the transition gets closer, app messaging will be updated to give users a final reminder to download Boundless. After the library’s collection is moved to Boundless, users who try to access our library’s collection in the Axis 360 app will see a message informing them they need to install and log in to Boundless.

Will Boundless be a separate mobile app?
Yes, Boundless is a new app. Once our library transitions to Boundless, users should download and install the Boundless app on their devices.
