Best books on the Libby app for professional development/personal finance/life in general?

Just connect it to your local library — the app itself (to the best of my knowledge) isn’t its own database. This question could be re-written as “best books for professional development/personal finance/life in general?” And then you can just find those books through Libby using your local library card.
BUT I’m totally open to being wrong here — perhaps I use the app differently.

You are correct.
