If you've found the book but it isn't available you can search all your other cards by touching the two color card icon on the search result. It then searches for that book across your cards. Not an easily discoverable feature but its amazing when you find it. I only know about it b/c the app's ui choices didn't always make sense so I went through the tutorial hoping it explained something else.

Awesome, thank you!

EDIT: Unfortunately, it only works if you have actually/accidentally searched a library that _does_ have the book. So you still have to switch libraries manually, _until_ you have a lucky hit, _then_ you can check all other libraries with a button.

Amazing! I agree that this is not discoverable at all in the UI the last time I tried Libby.

That said, based on what nautilius said, searching at Overdrive.com is still superior because it properly searches across multiple libraries. (<https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/6uxca9/have_more_tha...>)
