How do you listen to these? I know this is a very basic question, but apparently I'm missing a step in the process.
Maybe I need to access Library site from my phone instead of computer to be able to listen on my phone - not sure.
Thanks,

I downloaded the Cloud Library app to listen to audio books from my library on my phone.

I use overdrive. If you have a library card it's super simple. The app walks you through it. My library also uses Libby, but I prefer overdrive. You have to download the app to your phone if you want to listen from your phone.

Overdrive or Libby. I usually check it out using my computer then download it to my phone using the app and on wi-fi. And my tip is to make sure you have the longest borrowing time. I can choose 7, 14 or 21 days. I always choose 21 days. If you finish early you can always return it.

My library uses RB Digital and Overdrive. The library website told me which one to use.

You have to download the app to your phone if you want to listen from your phone. I use Overdrive too. I had to also download Libby as some. Books will not download to Overdrive anymore. No biggie as they are both pretty much the same. I listen to audio books on my ipad through Overdrive. Haven't tried it through Libby yet. |

You can listen on your phone by using the Overdrive or Libby app. My library recently switched over to Libby. The app will walk you through the process.

I use Libby or Hoopla.
Hoopla has a lot more audio book options. Libby is connected to the library so it is whatever they have.
Overdrive is used by our library as well but they recommend Libby as it is the same thing (or looks the same)

Yes what everyone else said. You don’t listen through Audible. Use the library app you use.

I use Cloud Library. There are little hiccups once and a while, but for the most important it’s good.

I also use the Libby app. I like it because I could add the 5 libraries I access all in one place.

I use Libby. If you have trouble, (which you probably won't) just ask your library for help. Our library has rolled back service to curb side pick ups of reserved item only, but their website has a pop-up chat feature for help.
