Let's settle an age-old literary debate once and for all!

When you are reading a truly captivating book, do you prefer to read the physical pages, listen to an audiobook, or use an e-reader?

And did you know you can actually borrow e-books and audiobooks for free with your library card through the Libby app? Whether you're reading on your phone, tablet, Kindle, or listening on the go, Libby makes it easy to enjoy your next great read anytime, anywhere.

Every reader has their favorite method, and we love them all equally here. Let us know what your favorite way to read is in the comments!
