Borrow free e-books via Libby

The Library now subscribes to Libby, an app that allows The University of Manchester students and staff to borrow e-books for free.

Libby allows you to browse some of the Library’s curated lists, covering themes around well-being, LGBTQ+, and International Women’s Day or access a selection of e-books in Mandarin.

Libby is like a digital library, so books can only be borrowed for a limited time.

If there’s an e-book you want that the Library doesn’t have, you can use the app’s ‘Notify Me’ function to request it.

Please note that you cannot request for audiobooks or through the Library’s subscription.

Access Libby

Access Libby by downloading the app or through the Library Catalogue (instructions on how to use Libby are on the catalogue entry). Sign in using your University username and password.
