Borrow recreational audiobooks and e-books with Libby

Borrow recreational audiobooks and e-books to read on your phone or tablet using the Libby app by OverDrive.

Sign in to OverDrive for access to nearly 600 audiobooks and e-books including bestsellers, prize-winning fiction, and titles in German, Spanish and French.

Download the Libby app to borrow up to 10 titles for 14 days. Titles expire automatically at the end of the loan period so you do not have to return them.

If someone else has borrowed the title you want, just place a hold on it and the service will let you know when it’s available.

You can also use ‘Recommend to library’ to suggest additional titles to purchase. This feature is available in OverDrive (coming soon to Libby).

Libby is only available to Imperial staff and students.

Volunteer as a Tutor with The Access Project

The Access Project is looking for volunteers to support disadvantaged young people aged 14-18 for 1 hour a week with their academic studies, through our easy-to-use dedicated online platform.

  • Support a young person in a school subject to achieve the GCSE / A level grades they deserve and to fulfill their potential
  • Inspire, motivate and raise aspirations towards further education & the world of work
  • Students supported by The Access Project typically achieve a grade higher at GCSE and are four times more likely than their peers to progress to a top-third ranked university.

No prior experience necessary, full training included over autumn with start dates throughout the autumn term.
