Multiple Library Cards and Libby

I just saw this post: On Getting Multiple Library Cards | Notes by JCProbably and I do the same thing!

Yeah, I read a lot as well, and I get 95% of my books through my Public Library. And 99% of them are in digital form, which I get on my Kobo reader. All this is possible with the Libby app, which is awesome! I can search for a title, and it shows me if it’s available or what is the wait time, and in which library it can be borrowed from. It works for e-books and audio books.

The cool thing is that Ontario libraries are linked, so I don’t even need to go to these cities to get a library card, it’s all done online, and I can log in these libraries using my Ottawa card. I have an Ottawa Public Library card that also gives me access to these other 5 libraries in my province:

So, it works great! I can borrow and return books right in the app. I have a list of all my holds and the estimated time for them to be available. Highly recommended if you have access to a Public Library and enjoy reading e-books (or audio books).
