With your library card, you can access collections from Erie County, Crawford County, Seneca, and New Castle as well as our home Oil Creek collection. With your home library card, you can checkout items from all 5 Libby collections!
Written Instructions
Step One: Login with your Home library card
Make sure you are logged in to the Oil Creek with an District member library card on your app.z
If you are not already logged in, be sure to do this process for your home library first. (If you can, save the number in your phone to save you some time!)
Tap on the Menu button in the bottom center of the app screen.
Step Two: Add the partner library to your app
Tap “Add Library”
Search for the library collection name you are adding.
- Home: Oil Creek
- Partner Libraries:
- Seneca District Libraries
- New Castle District Library Center
- Erie County Public Library
- Crawford County Federated Library System
Step Three: Log in with your home library card
Once you add a library, you will be taken to the collection home screen. Your first time you should see a screen like the one to the right.
Tap “Sign in with My Card”
Under the “Partner Libraries” section, find your home library. Usually the app brings the home library card in the app to the top of the list as shown; if it does not, the list of partner libraries is alphabetical. Scroll down to find your library name.
Use your home library card number to sign in.
Step Four: Success (and Repeat)
Congratulations! You are now signed in to our partner library.
Repeat these steps for each of our partner libraries.
NOTES
You can switch between collections to browse them easily. Just tap the menu icon on the bottom of the app screen, then tap on the library that you want to switch to. It will take you back to the home page of the collection you want to browse.
(The library icon will change color to match the colors of the collection you’re viewing.)
When you search for a specific title, author, or series, Libby will automatically search all of the collections that you have added to your app, so you can see everything that is available to you.
If you have any problems logging in to a partner library, call your home library first to verify your account. Our partner libraries all use the home library’s systems, so the issue usually lies there.
