ALL BLOOMSBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY PATRONS HAVE A NEW LIBRARY NUMBER TO USE FOR ALL ONLINE LIBRARY RESOURCES.

 

Libby is a service that provides our users free access to 15,000+ Ebooks, 5000+ Online Audiobooks, and 4000+ Online Magazines.

 

You may be asked to verify your Libby Card number. Follow these instructions to locate your NEW number.

 

We merged your old Libby account with the new account behind the scenes, so you should not have lost any active checkouts or holds.

 

We will be purchasing extra digital ‘copies’ of popular Libby books to reduce the wait time for our users in the hold queue.

 

You will also need this number for Kanopy Plus, Comics Plus, POWER Library and other online library resources.
