Beginning Thursday, October 15, 2026, patrons will be required to enter their Ela Library password (PIN), in addition to their card number to access their Libby accounts. Libby's parent company, OverDrive, is taking this measure to create an additional layer of customer account security. When you register for an Ela card, your password (PIN) is PATRON in all capital letters. You are welcome to change the password at any time, but once you have done so, our staff cannot see your new password. You may reset it by going to the My Account Page and clicking "Forgot Your Password?”
