Buying physical books also requires additional packaging and transportation, too, using more energy and creating more waste. Not only can you take advantage of the library catalog, but you can reduce waste by removing the need for more paper-based books.
More than that, Libby is the eco-conscious way to support your local library. For many people, carrying a library in their Kindle or pocket is a lot easier than taking up space (and weight) with physical copies. Perhaps most crucially, digital book rentals are available at zero cost, meaning new content is always in your budget. Rentals are automatically returned - with ample notice that your rental period is coming to an end - eliminating the risk of late fees.
