Patrons upset about Hoopla? Yeah. Are they not satisfied with the tantalizing offers of both CLP and Free Library of Philadelphia cards for Libby? Also yeah. They come with those wait times we have heard so much about.
Well, guess what!
POWER Library has collaborated with OverDrive to roll out a pilot project that makes Libby available for all Pennsylvanians! This is an independent, statewide collection of over 14,000 always available titles that anyone with a public library card in PA can enjoy. Patrons can have 5 items checked out at a time and have 5 holds.
Patrons will need either a library card from their local public library or an E-Card issued by POWER Library. They can sign up here.
Patrons can visit powerlibrary.overdrive.com or Power Library’s Libbyapp page in a browser to access the POWER Library collection, or add the POWER Library collection in the Libby app. Here’s how:
Using a Web Browser
- Select Access Now
- Select Sign In
- Search/select for your library. (If using an E-Card, search/select POWER Library as your library.)
- Enter the requested credential(s)
Using the Libby App
- Select Add Library
- Search for POWER Library
- Enter the requested credential(s)
More Libby for everyone! MORE!
