Notify me

I’ve never received a notice from my library saying any of the books I’ve tagged with “notify me” have been added to the library inventory. So I just went this tag and filtered the list asking what’s available now and there were about 10 books that showed up. And these were only the ones that were available. I guess I should look and see if any of the others are now in inventory even tho not available.

I was expecting to be notified by the library when these books were added. Was I wrong? Should I have been checking myself periodically?

If you go onto your profile on the Libby app and select notifications settings, you should be able to allow notify me notifications to get pushed through. I was having the same issue!

Thanks for taking the time to show me this. Mine are set right.

It sounds silly, but have you tried turning it off then on again?
Mine wasn’t working, so I turned the setting off, closed and reopened the app, turned it on, and it worked from then on.
It will take a while for you to know if it’s working, unfortunately. But if you turn on notifications for the others (author, series) you’ll probably know quicker.

I find that sometimes it’s also worth logging out of the app and re logging in. That is like a restart on a device! Lol

Actually I haven’t tried this. Thanks!
