Titles added to library notification with Libby?

John F · 08-11-2023, 07:51 AM

I've tagged books with the "Notify Me" and I don't seem to be getting notifications when tagged books are added to my libraries.

I think I was getting them when I had notifications for app only. I changed that for email (and app) a while back, and now I'm not getting notifications for tagged titles added to my libraries.

Are people getting these notifications through e-mail?

Thanks.

I am getting Libby notifications from the iOS Libby app.

I was shocked when I received an email notification a couple days ago. Up until then I thought Libby Notify was broken. I think I've received one notification on the iOS app, but I never get a badge icon, which is annoying. I'm still not convinced it's working consistently. May be hit or miss.

I sometimes get the emails, sometimes not.

I've tried to get into the habit of clicking on the notifications on the Libby website (the little bell) whenever I go to add another book as "notify me." I installed the app on my phone but still lhaven't gotten around to opening it. I still mostly use the Overdrive website.

Checking the new titles added to one of my libraries on the Overdrive site, there were 3 titles added that were tagged (Notify Me) on Libby and no Libby app notification or email.
