Setting preferences

In Libby, you can set list preferences to filter your library's catalog. That way, you'll only see content you're interested in when browsing and searching.

To set list preferences:

  1. Tap Preferences at the top of your library's home screen or any list.
  2. Adjust your filters (like availability, format, language, audience, and compatibility) and default sorting option.
  3. Tap Apply Preferences.

You can also sort and filter individual lists without changing your default list preferences.
