Did you know? New York State residents can apply for digital library cards through the New York Public Library, Queens Public Library, and Brooklyn Public Library. These digital cards will allow you to access even more titles in the Libby app. Learn more about how to apply for a card from each of these locations at the links below:
The Finger Lakes Library System, the OWWL Library System, and the Southern Tier Library System have teamed up to share OverDrive collections! You can get access to titles in all three collections, with a few limitations. All you need is your STLS library card - no additional library card is needed!
