Now, users can set up a smart tag in Libby to be notified when new issues of a magazine are available at your library. Gone are the days of needing to log into Libby every month to see if the latest issues of my favorite magazines are out. When you do, the smart tag will contain both your OverDrive wish list items plus the titles from your “want to read” or TBR tag. For example, if you have a tag in Libby for titles you want to read, you can add “ OverDrive Wish List” smarts to it. A smart tag can automatically keep track of certain titles for you. In Libby, you can change a regular tag into a smart tag. You could even set up separate tags for different moods or genres if you want to be more specific. Best part is, when the mood strikes me, I can just open Libby and filter my TBR list to see what’s available. This is why one of the first tags I set up in Libby was a TBR tag to keep track of all those books I know I’ll want to read eventually. And while the Deliver Later option is one of my absolute favorite features, I’m a big mood reader and don’t always like putting books on hold unless I know I’m going to want to read it as soon as it comes in. Let’s be honest: there are just too many books and not enough time. Based on popular request, users can now easily filter their tags by availability, too! Manage To Be Read (TBR) pile From this screen, users will see more details about their tags, including the tag description, how many titles are in the tag, and more. Users can filter their Tags Shelf to show regular tags (like book club picks) or smart tags ( i.e., tags with extra logic, like the ability to sync wish lists from the OverDrive app to Libby).

Tags now have a dedicated screen on the Shelf, making it easier to see and manage tags. L ibby Tags have gotten an upgrade! Your readers can use tags in Libby to organize books however they’d like, from making lists of books to share with friends or tracking books they want to read to subscribing to favorite magazines.
