Have you ever finished a book on Libby and had no idea what to read next? If so, there's a great feature in Libby that can truly "inspire you". Officially launched in late August 2025, the Libby Inspire Me feature helps users discover hidden gems from their library's massive digital collection.

In this guide, we'll walk you through what the Libby Inspire Me feature is, how to use it step by step, and how to download Libby audiobooks and eBooks recommended by the Libby Inspire Me feature for offline access and long-term storage.

Part 1: What Is the Libby Inspire Me Feature?

Libby Inspire Me feature is an optional tool designed to help readers discover library titles through short, engaging prompts called "Inspirations". Built directly into the Libby app, it uses AI technology alongside your library's extensive digital collection to uncover hidden gems and deliver more personalized recommendations.

Instead of endlessly browsing categories or relying only on bestseller lists, "Inspire Me" works almost like a matchmaking tool — connecting your personal interests with the library's digital catalog in a smarter, more tailored way.

Part 2: How to Use Libby Inspire Me Feature?

Using the Inspire Me feature is very simple, the specific steps are as follows:

Step 1. Tap "Menu", then pick and choose from Fiction or Nonfiction, or a Tag.

Step 2. Select your age group from adults, teens, or kids.

Step 3. You'll then see a series of fun prompts. Choose the "inspiration" that interests you most.

Step 4. The system will recommend 5 eBooks or audiobooks that best match your selected "inspiration".

Tips:

1. Libby prioritizes titles that are available to borrow immediately.
2. If you choose "a tag", Libby will recommend books based on the titles saved in your tags (Make sure you have at least 20 books in your tagged list).
3. If you can't find "Inspire Me" on your home page, simply go to the search bar and type: #InspireMe.

Part 3: How to Download Books Recommended by Libby's Inspire Me?

When you use the Libby Inspire Me feature, it's easy to discover several great books at once. But there's one problem: Libby loans usually last only up to 21 days, and some libraries have recently shortened it to just 14 days. How can you possibly finish an entire book in only two weeks — especially if you have a busy schedule or the book is particularly long?

That's why downloading your borrowed books is a great option. A reliable Libby downloader is something many readers eventually look for. AnyLibro Converter allows you to convert eBooks into EPUB format and audiobooks into MP3, M4A, or M4B files. Once converted, you can transfer the files to any device you prefer for reading or listening. It's also a convenient way to keep a personal backup, so you can revisit your favorite books later without borrowing them from Libby again.
