A PIN/Password is Now Required to use the Libby App
Starting October 1, 2026, your Libby/Overdrive account will require a PIN/password to log in. This update is to ensure that your account stays private and secure. To update your password, call or stop by any library location.
Tips for Troubleshooting your Libby Login:
- If you have an orange Duluth Public Library card, try the password you use to place requests or see what items you have out.
- If you have a multi-color Arrowhead Library System card, try the last four digits of your phone number. If that does not work, try an old phone number like your first cell phone number or an old landline.
- If none of these options work, check out the Libby help page, or call the Duluth Public Library at 218-730-4200, option 3. We are here and happy to help!
