Anyone using Libby to read needs to click this link for an important upcoming change:
Attention all Libby users! ‼️

Starting ✨October 8th✨ of this year, you will be required to have a pin for your Libby account!
This information will be your library card barcode number as your username, and your last name (in lower case) as your password.👀

Again, this has NOT been set up yet! We want all our patrons to be notified before the change to ease into this transition period!

This is a great time to check if you still have your physical card, update your information with your library, or get a library card if you do not have one! 😁📖

If you have any questions, please contact the library at any time during operation hours so we can help give you answers! 😊📚
