The Libby App is available through the Citrus County Library System with a current library card. Titles for Adult to Young Readers available. 

If your child does not have a Citrus County Library Card they can sign up online.


      

1. Go to their website- https://www.citruslibraries.org/
2. Click on  “Don’t have a library card?” Register Here! (Found at the bottom of their page)
3. After you register, a Citrus County librarian will call your parent and give them your library card number over the phone so you can get started accessing Libby for eBooks right away.
4. They will also mail your library card to you!

 If you need any assistance let me know!
