not familiar enough with libby or the narrators, but here are some fun non-fiction books that aren't biographies, pop psychology, or self-help, but which might have general appeal:
less likely to have general appeal, but which I enjoyed and found important personally:

I would recommend „Paper : paging through history“ by Mark Kurlansky or his other books on Salt or Cod.
They may sound boring at first glance but they’re very interesting and informative.

Thanks! I'm on the waiting list on libby.

1177 B.C. The Year Civilisation Collapsed- Eric H Cline. I think that meets your criteria - although 'narrator isn't annoying' is obviously wildly subjective. I listened a while back and found it very interesting. I will be listening to After 1177 B.C. sometime soon.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers - Mary Roach
The Country of the Blind - Andrew Leland
The Underworld: Journey to the Depths of the Ocean - Susan Casey
Some of my favorites and in that order. They are not biographies and are about different non fiction topics.
Enjoy!!

Too many filters, too much brain work for someone that I don’t know, I don’t care and is not paying me.
