Libby: Home

Our new app for borrowing recreational audiobooks and e-books

Download Libby to borrow recreational and careers e-books and audiobooks from the library. Browse our curated lists or search the collection to find your next read.
For e-books on other platforms, please search the library catalogue.

Libby will ask if you have a library card. Click yes, then search for London Business School and sign in with your LBS ID If you graduated before 2020, you will need to use your personal email address to create your new LBS ID. 
See here for a video demonstration of how to log in.

You can borrow up to 2 titles at a time for 21 days. If an item is not required by another user, you can renew it.
There are also monthly limits on some types of items - if a book appears available but you are not able to borrow it, you can place a hold and be notified when it is available to you at the start of the next calendar month.
Titles in the Popular non-fiction and Popular fiction lists are not subject to these limits, so you should be able to borrow them (unless they are on loan to another user).

  • If Libby doesn't have the title you want, you can search the whole library catalogue. Here you will find all our print and e-books with details of how to access them.
  • If we don't have it, you can make a book purchase request. Please write your preferred format in the notes field (e.g. print, Libby e-book/audiobook).
  • You can also place a ‘Notify me’ tag in Libby, to receive a notification if a title becomes available in the future.

No. Visit our e-books guide for information on other e-book platforms.
