As part of an ongoing security update, OverDrive is now requiring a PIN to log in to Libby and the OverDrive website.

How do I find my PIN?

Your PIN is most likely the last four digits of your phone number, unless you previously changed it. It is the same PIN you use to log in to your library account on our website.

If you need help finding or resetting your PIN, please call the library at 434-946-9488.
