No, but if you want to read books offline on your computer, you'll have to create an Adobe Digital Editions. For mobile device or tablet, you can download the Libby app to access and download books.
You can download entire books as EPUB formats for offline reading on Adobe Digital Editions. You can also download entire books on the Libby mobile app. You are unable to print books from the browser or mobile app as contents are text only. You may not print the EPUB version from Adobe Digital Editions as publishers have restricted printing of books.
You can download titles as EPUB files for offline use on Libby app, or Adobe Digital Editions. You can also borrow up to three books at a time for a loan period of 21 days.
You can create original categories and tag books to belong to these lists. You can also add multiple library systems to your account, such as University of Toronto Libraries and a public library, and add books from either library to your tagged collections. You can also search for text within books and add bookmarks. You may also alter the typeface and size and change the background screen lighting. You can also export reading data for each borrowed title.
Once connected to the book from the library catalogue, click "borrow" which will direct you to a sign-in webpage. Log in by entering your UTORID and password, then confirm your loan by selecting "borrow" when returned to the main page. You can select "Download as EPUB" to read the book on Adobe Digital Editions, or "Read now in browser" to read the title online.
You can also view the library's collection on the Libby mobile app, or by browser, and select a book to read by clicking "borrow" underneath or beside the book's title. To access your loans on the app platform, navigate to "My Account" in the top right corner, and select "Loans". On Libby, select "Shelf" in the bottom right corner to view your current and past loans.
