Readers who prefer audiobooks voiced by people can tell Libby to hide AI-narrated titles. One easy-to-miss setting determines how widely that choice applies.

Sno-Isle Libraries shared a [guide to Libby’s AI controls on Nov. 9](https://www.sno-isle.org/blogs/post/getting-started-with-ai-controls-in-libby/?ref=justabouts.com). For local readers who borrow ebooks and audiobooks through the app, it is a useful chance to check their preferences.

## Choose human narrators

1. Open **Menu** in Libby and look for **Content Controls** under Settings.
2. Choose **AI Contributions**.
3. Under Audio, select **Human narrators only**.
4. Check **Where to apply filters**. If you want that choice to cover all library lists and searches, turn **Deep search only** off.

That last step matters. By default, the human-narrator preference only hides titles found through deep search, which includes books your current library does not own. Leaving that toggle on gives the filter a narrower reach, according to [Libby’s setup instructions](https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6313.htm?ref=justabouts.com).

## Check each device you use

Libby’s content controls do not sync between devices. If you read on a tablet and listen on a phone, set up your choices on both. Libby explains this in its [getting-started guide](https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6315.htm?ref=justabouts.com).

The AI Contributions screen also offers choices for text, graphics and translations, Sno-Isle says. Readers can review the categories that matter to them rather than stopping after the audio setting.

## Need a hand?

Sno-Isle offers individual help with Libby and other library resources, either virtually or in person. Bring the device you use to read or listen, so a library professional can walk through the settings with you.

You can [request an appointment with Sno-Isle](https://askus.sno-isle.org/widget%5Fstandalone.php?la%5Fwidget%5Fid=15797&ref=justabouts.com). Its original guide also links to Libby’s help pages for readers who prefer to work through the steps themselves.
