RBdigital content is moving to Libby 
From Saturday 27 February, all RBDigital content will be moving across to the new, award-winning Libby app.
You will still be able to browse, borrow and enjoy all your favourite eBooks and AudioBooks, and magazines will continue to be accessible via RBdigital until they are transitioned across later in the year (we will let you know when a date is set).
RBdigital will be inaccessible from midnight on Friday 26 February as all content is moved across. The move is expected to take a few hours, but it may take up to 24 hours for the catalogue to fully populate in Libby.
If you have any current loans over this period, you will still be able to access them via the RBdigital app until your loan expires.
Holds will not be moved across. You will need to place your holds again in the Libby app, but you can transfer your transaction history across to Libby for reference.
Download the Libby App below. Please note: you won't be able to access titles until Saturday 27 February.
Unfortunately, Libby is not available for Kindle.
