On October 13, the Libby app (free ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines) will start asking you to log in using your MPLS account pin. If you aren't sure of your pin, try the last six digits of your library card number. We also have step-by-step instructions on our website (link below). If that doesn't work, stop by any branch of the library or call us at 304-291-7425.
