Your default PIN is typically the last 4 digits of the phone number on file for your account.  If your phone number has changed, your PIN might still be the last 4 digits of the phone number you provided when you registered for your library card.

Can I change my PIN?

You can change your PIN to any 4 numbers by logging into your account.  Please use exactly 4 numbers (no letters or special characters), or you may be unable to access library services.

I use Libby's instant digital card. Do I have a PIN?

No, Libby's instant digital card allows you to log into Libby using your mobile phone number.  This option doesn't use a traditional library card number or PIN.

If Libby is prompting you to verify your account, please try these steps:

  • Inside the Libby app, tap the Menu icon in the middle of the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
  • Under Your Libraries, tap Manage Cards.
  • Check to see if a card displays with your mobile phone number on it.  If you see it, tap Actions, then Verify Card.
  • You’ll be prompted to enter your mobile phone number.  Tap Next.
  • You should receive a text message with a security code that will allow you to log into Libby.

If you don't see a card with your mobile phone number, you may need to apply again for the instant digital card as if you’re a new user:

  • Tap Add a Card.
  • Tap I Would Like a Card.
  • Tap Use My Phone Number.
  • You’ll be prompted to enter your mobile phone number.  Tap Next.
  • You should receive a text message with a security code that will allow you to log into Libby.
