E-books and Audiobooks at Middlebury

Libby is Middlebury Library's partner providing popular e-books (including Kindle-compatible e-books) and audiobooks to check out.  We currently have about 700 titles available.

Libby works with a wide variety of devices!

You will need to install the Libby app to access the collection.  Please see this page to get started with Libby or watch the video tutorial here.  Basically, the process is as follows:

1. Download the Libby app to your device and create an original account.
2. Tap the large red "Libby" on the app to open a sidebar, then tap "Add A Library" and search for "Middlebury College” as a library.  You will be taken to our sign-in page to enter your Middlebury College username and password.
3. Browse the available selections and borrow an audiobook or e-book
4. For an audiobook, download the MP3 files using the app.  Access and manage your loans from your electronic bookshelf.
5. Many e-book titles are also available for use with Kindle apps and readers.
