New Feature: Content Controls in Libby

FCPL offers free access to downloadable eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eMagazines through Libby, an app managed by OverDrive. This week OverDrive introduced a new feature within Libby called "Content Controls."

The Content Controls feature allows users to manage access to titles in Libby based on the intended audience for each individual title. 

There are four audience categories in Libby: 

• Juvenile: Titles intended for readers ages 0–12
  
  
• Young adult: Titles written for readers ages 13–18
  
  
• General content: Titles written for adult readers or a general audience. This is the audience category for most titles.
  
  
• Mature content: Titles intended only for mature audiences due to the nature of their content

The Content Controls feature is found in the Settings section of the Libby app. OverDrive has created three presets for Content Controls that users can apply to their account settings in Libby.
