New Feature: “Notify Me”
When searching a library in Libby, you may discover titles that aren’t in the collection. These titles will have a Notify Me button (instead of Borrow or Place Hold). Selecting Notify Me sets up a smart tag in Libby that will alert you if the library purchases the book at a later date. See how Notify Me works in the app or watch an instructional video.
