Use the Notify Me tag in Libby

Log in to Libby and use a Notify Me tag to suggest an eBook or eAudiobook purchase. Notify Me will alert you if the library buys the title. You can learn how to use Notify Me with this tutorial. However, not all publishers sell their content to libraries in digital format.
