Do I need a library card to use Libby?
Yes, you'll need a library card for each library you want to borrow from. You can add multiple libraries to Libby, and you can even add multiple cards for each library.
Each library has their own guidelines for getting a card. Learn more about getting a card in this help article or reach out to the library you're interested in.
Borrowing from a partner library
Some libraries have a partnership with another library that lets you borrow titles from the partner's collection using your normal library card.
If you're not sure whether your library has one of these partnerships, you can look for an I'm Visiting From Another Library link when you're adding a card in Libby. Tap that link to view a list of partner libraries where you can borrow titles.
To sign into a partner library:
- Go to
> Add A Library. - Search for the partner library and open it.
- Go to > See Library Cards.
- Tap Add A Card, then I'm Visiting From Another Library.
- Choose your normal library from the list and sign in.
