Libby App
Patrons can check out audiobooks, eBooks and magazines for your computer and smart devices by using either the free Nebraska Overdrive website or the very user-friendly Libby app. Checking out is a free service of the Wilson Public Library for local users and requires your library card number and a library-specific password. Wilson Public Library is part of a state-wide consortium; there may be wait times as these titles are one-user only and we share the database with many other Nebraska libraries, although we do own some of our own titles within the database as well. There is a large selection of children, youth, and adult titles in both e-book and audiobook format. If you click on our catalog, it is integrated with Nebraska Overdrive so that you can see our physical titles as well as e-books and downloadable audiobooks. Logging into our catalog is a little different than logging into the Nebraska Overdrive website. Call us at 308-784-2019 if you need help.
Please ask the front desk for the password, but be prepared to give staff your name and library card number for verification. Our phone number is 784-2019. Check the Overdrive Device Resource Centerfor more compatibility information. Instructional sheets for the Libby app are available at the front desk to guide you through how to use or click here to Take a tour to learn how to Download Digital Books and More!
NEBRASKACCESS: Nebraska citizens may log in using their Nebraska driver's license or a special password available at the library. This is a fantastic database, whether you're doing a research project, looking for special forms, or looking for your next book to read! There are also databases especially for K-12 Students (moms, dads & teachers, you'll have to sign in to these with your driver's license, or call the library at 784-2019 for the password!). This database is courtesy of the Nebraska Library Commission.
