Libby is the digital platform Forsyth County Public Library uses to provide patrons with free access to thousands of eBooks and eAudiobooks.
In March, the Libby Book Award winners were officially announced at the first-annual Libby Book Awards. The ceremony was presented on YouTube by podcast duo, the Professional Book Nerds. Books in 17 categories were chosen by voters from over 1,700 librarians and library workers across the country.
Here are a few of the winners of the 2023 Libby Book Awards in various genre categories.
