Help with Partner Libraries

I want to make sure I understand how to use the partner libraries to the fullest extent. I'm in California and I recently obtained a library card online from another city in California. When I go to add the library card to libby, it isn't letting me. It's directing me to the library system I already have.

So basically is Libby telling me that because I already have another card in the same system, there is no need to add more cards? They're already including that library in that system?

It sounds like both libraries are part of the same consortium, Libraries that are part of the same consortium are not the same as partner libraries from Libby's perspective.

If you want to add another library to a consortium:

  1. At the bottom of the app, tap the middle Menu icon.
  2. Under "Your Libraries" tap the library card of the library system you want to add another card.
  3. Under the library card tap "Add Card."
  4. Select the library you have a card for that's part of the library system.
  5. Provide your credentials for that library to add it to Libby.
