Since Libby, our award-winning one-tap reading app, launched in June of 2017, millions of readers have borrowed hundreds of millions of digital books from public libraries around the world. Now, with COVID-19’s impact as well as advancements in digital reading and apps like Libby, libraries have seen even higher growth in digital readership in 2020. In fact, 105 library systems across the world are on pace to set a new record this year.

We thought it’d be fun to look at the audiobooks and ebooks that have been checked out more than any others since Libby was launched.
