Don't worry.
Does this work for college libraries ? Or does it have to be public ?

I seriously thought he was sending us to the library when he said "get a library card"
I may as well have lmfao
@@LukeParon hey I have a problem. I live in Latvia and there are no libraries anywhere in my country that support this app. Do you know any way of getting a library card from other countries without visiting them?
Thanks for this, Audible is really expensive and I am out of work right now so this is a great alternative for me and many others who are on a budget. Granted the selection is not as good, but it is a free service so that's to be expected. But there is still a ton of content available and it is all free. I found audio books at my library that were going for like 30-40 bucks on audible that I was able to listen to for free.
me who reads books no one's ever heard of 😃
sameee i got libby and they didn’t have the book i wanted and i was like what-😃
This is painful
Same
Me too haha have you read The Haunting of the Sunshine Girl
SAME
Hey, words aren’t enough to express my gratitude to you. Just discovered my library (New Zealand) has 22k audio books in there via libby. Although most of these are fiction, which I don’t read/listen but still there are hundreds of non-fiction books many of which, I’m sure, would be of my interest. Thanks man
Thank you so much omg
Sometimes if you read a older fiction book it feels a lot like a historical non fiction book...in terms of feeling.. Because it may have a fictional plot, but the setting, attitude of society, the technology and the story, and the food they eat, it's like the this is how those historical figures we read about live their daily lives..
It's worth listening to just a couple of the classics. It's a lot different reading about the napoleonic wars when you can read the fiction and stories written by people who were living through that history
We just got this in South Africa! ❤❤I can't actually believe it😅 I'm going to help my elderly parents with these audio books.
The Lord of the Rings he has reserved is an ebook. On Libby, audiobooks say ‘play sample’, his LOTR said ‘read sample’. It also does not have the same audiobooks as Audible, just a much smaller selection.
Still good tho
I have a library card and I've used "Libby". The problem with this app is the desirable books are rarely available!
Thank you dear... I am not living in US. I created an online membership with Newyork Public Library in 2 minutes by giving US address, got a Library Card and registered in the app, all in 5 minutes.
Edit:- The membership expired after 15 days for not producing necessary documents...😪
So you’d have to do this every 2 weeks
I found all mine on RUclips... and yeah
Took all of 30 seconds and now I have access to a ton of books. Thanks for this video.
Truly a blessing, thank you. I was literally just about to sign up to audible 😭
Audible had its perks but like....free is free
You are a blessing! This video was awesome and so helpful! Thank you a ton 🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼!!!
Just tested It, works for the UK, thanks!
So happy to have come across this!! Thank you! ❤️
Love your channel!!! ❤ bro you are super legit no sugar coating and you definitely are up front no extra talk you get right to the point im def telling all my friends and sharing you on my posts!!!! 😊 have a happy new year 🎉🎉
This is awsome, just signed up online and got my library eCard instantly. I've already started reading a book and have a few on hold. This is an awesome service. So glad I found your video.
BOOM! This is what I love to hear
Where did you get it from?
When I signed up for audible, (just to get one specific book), I didn't realize I wasn't going to be able to download it. ...so basically, always have to have internet access and always have to maintain a membership. I would not have joined if I had realized. My bad, I needed to research more, but honestly it never even occurred to me that I wasn't purchasing, just renting. Thanks for giving me the push I needed to cancel my membership.
Bro just get right into the vid
Look at pinned comment
OMG you are a legend!!!!!! Love every second of this video from the first second to the last! Perfect.
I've been doing it for years. I used to live in America and got a library card. But 10 years on I can still use my American library card in Ireland so the great thing is it's not geoblocked if you use your American library card in Europe.
I tend to buy audiobooks that are over 20 hours long from audible because it will just take me too long to get through the whole thing and it would mean I would have to constantly keep renewing the book and sometimes you have to wait to be able to get the book re assigned to you again as other people are waiting. The issue with Libby is that it only allows you to borrow for between 7 to 21 days and if the book is very long, that may not be enough time. That's when purchasing the book is better. But it is great for books that are around 10 hours long.
On Audible you can also return the book you got with a credit and they'll give you your credit back and you can get another book with it
A classic maneuver
Thank you so much for showing me this, I survive on a low income right now and Audibles 15$/month plus the 20$ plus per book is a bridge too far for me right now, but this is perfect for me.
Thank you! This video was super helpful!
I have a library card at Huntington beach library. Libby doesn't have this library but hoopla does. The problem with hoopla though is their selection is very limited.
I was so hesitant thinking it's a spam video. Thanks for making this video
Haha I totally get it, thanks for clicking!
Your awesome, been listening to free audio books for years, never a paid subscriber as too costly n not just right. Will be visiting my library ASAP n check out your sites, thanks again.... just hope they don't pump in lots commercials, will see....
My library doesn’t have many of the books I like to listen to.
Incredible!!!! Thank you. Joined the NY Public Library. The Most Books Available
Wonderful!
Shoot I was hoping to be able to upload audiobooks from Liby or Hoopla to Audible, or at least into my own folder & I had thought this is where you were going, but where there is a will there is way lol .. Great post thank you!
duuude legit! just signed up w/local library online in minutes in LA county > entered card info > boom I have the audio book options. ur a gem bro
The library sucks half the books that you want they don't have the other half you wait 10 weeks for I want to read a book I want to read it now not 10 weeks from now. Plus the available audiobooks are very few.
this guy is a goat.... thanks heaps lad
Love it. Works in Cardiff, Wales
Been doing that for 25 years, books through the library free.
Hoopla is also super useful and also uses your library card
Thanks! I knew libraries hwad audible just didnt piece the app so cool!
so.. basically, when i was about to do the card, i can't put any birthday in there
This video’s title is misleading. It’s about borrowing audiobooks, not getting them to keep.
Even audible without an app like Libation really doesn’t let you own books as they are tired to your account.
To truly own audiobooks, you need to buy them on CD or download and decrypt them .
Trust me, my Amazon account, which was linked to my audible account, was hacked. I lost access to all digital content on both platforms.
Well, except for the ebooks and audiobooks that I de-drm’ed.
ALWAYS opt for a physical ownership when you can of course!
I’m from Europe and it didn’t work for me
Good looking out, thank you sir!
Thank you! So happy I discovered this.
tldr "dont use audible. go to your library"
Yeah
Thank you so much I am trying to get back into reading and this video help me in getting books for free because audible is so expensive it makes you not want to read but you help me continue wanting to read free is always better
Will this method work for people from other countries?
Actually goated bro thanks a bunch
Hi, my city in canada have a library but it's not in the list. what to do in this situation.
Damn, wonder if Utah will jeep the team as the Yotes. Love their jerseys! As An Avs fan, I don't want this to happen, mainly due to division realighnment :/ But even as a fan i feel bad for AZ fans :(
Can you download them and save on computer 🤔
We support the library through our taxes. So not really "totally" free but yes, the library is a great resource which we should leverage to its fullest, including of course, audio books. 🎉
How do I get an access to a library in India. And what if I do not have an access to a public library like at all!!
Sadly, not all of us are from first world
Still looking for a way to do this on Brazil, but I don't think our libraries provide that kind of service. If anyone knows a way, do let me know
Hey Can You Play The Audiobooks offline
Yep, libby lets you save to device
Hoooly Fuck! Can't wait to try this!! I'm super jealous of people who read a lot of books. I myself at 39 have probably only read....5 books beginning to end? I get distracted too easy. I put things off. I TRIED to read digital books on my phone but within a handful of minutes, I get distracted. I probably have some sort of ADHD or something. Lol.
However. I DO hike a lot. usually it's podcasts I listen to while hiking but today while on a hike I thought, "Wait...why not a book!? You read "Haunted" by Chuck Palihnuik years ago and enjoyed it! Why not listen to it!"
I then downloaded Audible and holy fuck! I can only get audiobooks by paying for a monthly membership!? And THEN buying the audio book!?
I pay for enough monthly streaming services and I don't want to shell out another $15 a month for something I'll only use sometimes.
So thank you for this! I'm legit going to try this once I'm done on my current hike to have an audio book for my next one!
EDIT: I live in a decent sized city...and their library isn't one of the ones I can choose on Libby! 😭 Lol
It Does NOT work with all libraries in all states in the United States… like Bull Shoals, Lakeview, Midway, etc, all in AR
Nah bro I’m here for the illegal type shit 😂
Piratebay.se is where I get all my shot from lmfao
I really enjoy audiobooks at work, but I am wanting to move down to a dumb phone. I just bought a cat 22 flip phone, but already I can tell it might still be too advanced. I want a DUMB phone. Like no google bullshit. No apps.
So I am wondering how I can get audiobooks without, needing to be plugged in to the matrix.
I honestly wish they just had cds or casettes? I mean old cds had a way to go to different songs which is the same as a chapter? So if I had a cd of an audiobook surely I could still switch between chapters?
Didn't work for me Couldn't even get the APP
I'm from south africa and 😔 we don't have that service here.
Also, another good option is Sora, it might be a US only thing, but idk
it didn't work for me couldn't even get the app
Will try this out! Thx for the info!
I just think Amazon is rather cruel so anything to stick it to em!!!
@@LukeParon the feeling is mutual! Also, checked out your channel and we've got pretty similar taste, you've got a new sub 🤘
@@LukeParon Just wanted to say thanks again! Over the past month I've listened to over 40 hours worth of audiobooks with Libby! Been sharing the word with friends too!
@@kylemccoymusic4202 YOOOO THATS SICK! What are you listening too mostly?
@@LukeParon I'm getting back into The Wheel of Time! On the third book now, and the narration is spectacular! Once I'm done, I'll try to get into King. The Dark Tower seems up my alley and I'm looking forward to it!
Man that wallpaper on your phone is so cool where can I get it
The more you know!
When the book is there but no audio ;-;
You could have mentioned in the beggining of the video that this is only for certain countries. I cannot add any library from the Czech Republic.
I was unaware of this, my apologies
Also subscribed within the first 50 seconds thats how strong a vibe i felt and im glad i did I know this video is 3 years old but i just know ur vids gotta be good
Thats so kind!
Thanks. That is great information!!
I can't believe it took me so long to figure out this insanely simple solution haha
Sadly, in Italy it doesn't work.
Scribd and RUclips is all I use. Tons of audios on both.
What’s scribd
Idk why but the audiobook apps never have my local library on it 😭
Audible is literally highway robbery. Especially if you like books that happen to be kinda short. All the books are like 20 freaking dollars .. and the membership costs like 15 a month for the privilege of paying that 20 dollars per book.. but it's cool cuz you get 1 free book a month.. for 15 dollars.. how is this a business?
Dude! I almost was gonna cuss you out! Your Video simply starting talking about: ( Go To Library and Get A Card! ) " Serious? " That was false information to the tittle of your video! I was about to get really pist mad! Then you further explained, how I could tap into my local library thru this Libby App and retrieve reading books on my phone! Dude this made my day! Thank You! Forgive me for thinking stupid! Have a wonderful day!
My library also has hoopla included and it has many good books including Harry Potter and all that stuff
Thank you so much for this video.
You are so welcome!
I live in europe so libby doesn't work for me 😭
Hey I am a avid reader, losing my sight do audio books lifesaver. Been spending a mint on Audible...no more thanks so much...a
Happy to help!
What are your thoughts on the Dramatic Readings is books? Good Omens is really good and I know the a hobbit has one too.
It depends on what you define as dramatic. I think in the Dune audiobook, it really helps that they have multiple actors to play the different roles. Especially in there massive dialogue scenes such as Paul sitting in on his fathers meeting. If it was just one performer I could see how it would get incredibly confusing.
checking into it
RUclips yall gat too much ads.. don't become Facebook on me now.........
Thanks I was spending a krazy amount of money on audio books and now I can get them for free!!!!?
It's crazy how long it took me to realize this life hack too haha. Library's are such a common part of our life and yet I always forget they exist lol
:/ The closest library it recognises is 100 km away. Yet I work in the local library.
Can I transfer a 90 hour AUDIBLE book onto an a MP3? I'm about to travel to a place that has no electricity.
I’m sorry I don’t know. I hope you figured it out. Are you going on a missions trip?
Yes it can be done
Click bait title.
You are not getting Audible books. You are getting free audio books via the local library via Overdrive/Libby subscribed services. I have used the Overdrive service for about two decades. Plus, I have a card to one of the top ten libraries in the country. A more realistic estimate is that Audible has 100% of the available audiobooks. My library has only about 80 to 90%. This is especially true of books series that are older than 7 to ten years ago. Plus a library may not elect to include an audio books due to budget limitations. Finally, Libby has significant design flaws when it comes to requesting books that your library may not initially choose to carry. But, for the price, these short comings worth putting up with for the savings of an Audible subscription.
AUDIBLE IS FOLLOWING ME
Doesn't seem to work if a book is geo locked, which by they way is the most ridiculous thing to have geo locked, especially if people are willing to pay and if it's a self help book. I can't wait for the day we finally manage to sort out our copyright laws and copyright lawyers will be forced to find real jobs instead of being a bane to society.
Me tryna read artemis fowl: the sacred text
Thanks a lot
Love this video
What do you do if it doesn’t have an audio book version?
libby doesn’t have my book as an audiobook 😭😭
I can't seem to find my library. How do I add a library? I'm looking for Hampton Public Library in Hampton, Virginia
I can't believe this worked my card is over 15 years old
Awesome!! thank u so much!!!
Thank you🌸
Love This Thank You So Much!!!!!
can u share your library card ?
Lol i use ebooks on my cellphone from libby.
You're a baller for that
Can i do this abroad? I’m from the Netherlands
Yes, the Philipsburg Jubilee Library is in it !
Does this work for college libraries ???
Did that an didnt have anything i wanted to listen too.
Thanks. But I think it’s a drag that audible won’t allow you to just buy the book you want. Yes, they are too expensive.
Pretty sure you can buy they are expensive
