Libby does even more Tags Tag titles you love, hate, or want to read. Tag titles into custom lists, too. Activity Track reading history. Your timeline shows all titles borrowed, returned, and placed on hold. Also available as… Easily link to the other format. Reversed jackets Cover images flip to the right in search results when you borrow or place a hold. Libby does even more than that. Tags help organize the titles you want to read, but also the titles you liked and disliked. You can tag a title with a book icon, a thumbs up, or a thumbs down by tapping the Tag option on title details pages. You can even create your own tags, such as titles by your favorite author or Beach Reads, by tapping the plus sign (+) in the tag pop-up. All of your tags can be found on your Shelf. Your Shelf also hosts an Activity timeline. Now you can see a list of titles you’ve you borrowed, placed on hold, and returned. Please also rest assured that your tags and activity aren’t shared with the library or OverDrive; they’re just there for your convenience. You’ll see an “Also available as…” link on title details pages when titles are available as both eBooks and audiobooks. This can help you explore other format options, and maybe even help you get the book faster, if one format has a shorter wait list. You’ll also notice that Libby flips the cover images for borrowed titles, so it’s always clear what books are and aren’t new to you.
