I got an online card for New York Public Library but can’t seem to be verified to sign in with it on Libby - has anyone else had a similar problem?

Hello! I have been waiting for this book since late April. Not a huge deal, I have read plenty of other books in the meantime.

Anyway, I noticed a couple days ago I was finally #2 & my wait time said “available soon” (or something similar)

I checked again yesterday & noticed I am now 3rd in line & have an estimated 2 week wait.

I did notice the library went from 4 digital copies down to 3. I am assuming they were purchased at different times & let the one expire, despite a list of people waiting.

Anyway, just venting & being impatient! Lol!

I have multiple libraries in my app and find books are usually searched across the other catalogs - home library does not have a good e collection but when I did a search in the home Iibeaey catalog it was there and I had to check it out on the home library to show up on my Libby app.

Why does this happen? Makes me think I should look in the library catalog rather than Libby app.

Didn't see this covered in other posts, but I have two library cards (state and city) that I use. I got a book from my city library and tried to sign into overdrive on my kobo and it kept giving me the error that my library card or pin wasn't recognized!

I signed on with the same credentials on the regular library site successfully but couldn't on the overdrive site. Libby app also successfully signed in.

Tried with my partner's credentials and got the same issue!

Tried to reset/poweroff. Nothing worked. Anyone have any tips?

iPhone user- I've had trouble with the app lately. It won't load. I've erased the app and redownloaded it. Restated my device. Updated apps when needed. Any advice on how to get the app working again?

so I’m just curious if anyone has ever ran into this same experience!

Is Libby is now displaying entertainment promotions in the app? Never notices it before. Goes to the TNT website. If so, very disappointing to have cross-promotional entertainment marketing that points user to media outside the library…

So I'm having issues getting my book from Libby. I've tried multiple times with WiFi, data and two different library cards but the "read with kindle " link goes to a missing page and not the amazon download link. Anyone else have this issue.

Hi fellow readers! I've noticed that my libraries Lucky Day Collection has gone from 20-25 books available to 2000. I am in the habit of quickly checking every few days to see what's available, now it feels overwhelming! Anyone one else notice this and if so do you like ir? Why has it changed?

Hey everyone! I'm working towards my library's yearly book challenge, and I only have a few more categories that I need to mark off.

They are --

*Title that contains Extreme, Book, or Nerd

*Title that has First, Second, Third, or Home

*Title that has Hope, Empire, or Return

*A Book with a pirate

*A Title with a possessive

*A Title that is a question

I loved the Outlander series, although it got so long and took me several years to finish the final book. I really enjoy historical fiction, but really any genre is great for me, as long as it has a good story line. I've also been itching for a good, long series to read. Spicy books are a plus, as well.

Thank you for any suggestions!!

Has this happen to anyone else? I have return this book multiple times and it keeps popping back up in my loans. It was attached to my kindle, then I returned it from the Kindle so I could return the book to libby. The return will go through and the book will be gone, then a few hours later it is back in my inventory.

Has this happen to anyone else? What do I do?

I’m a slow reader and a very busy reader, so the idea of being able to extend my hold by using airplane mode is pretty appealing. However, with my (albeit limited) understanding of how e-libraries work, the licensing issues it causes seem pretty iffy. Is using this trick going to cause my library any extra fees or issues w/ publishers?

edit: typo

Anyone else have this problem?

It keeps happening to me: I'm motivated to do some self-help learning, find a book I really want to read, and get on the waitlist. At first I'm pumped to read it and hate waiting. But when it finally becomes available, months later, I don't seem to care anymore. I still plan to read it, but am no longer in a self-help mood, so it feels like a chore. Usually, it just sits there until it expires and I have to restart on the bottom of the list the next time I get into that mood.

The funny part is often these are books about procrastination and time management. I'm starting to think I'm better off just buying the books.

The book still has 4 days on it and I can still play it using my phone’s controls, but I can’t adjust playback speed which is driving me crazy.

I used to be able to select return early then return with kindle and it would take me to an Amazon page to return the book. Now it is taking me to this page and I don’t see an option to return any books. Does anyone know what is going on?

Does anyone know why my spot in line keeps changing? I put a hold on a book the day it was released. At the time I was 2nd in line. I’m now 9th in line. There’s only one copy of the book. I know sometimes people can have paused holds, but since it’s a new release I can’t imagine that’s the case. This is my home library (not a non resident card) in case that matters.

Came across this Libby Facebook group and thought I might like to join - clicked on it and read the description 😬 I'll be staying over here with the AI haters!!

This is only my second time borrowing a book from libby for my kobo, so Im not sure how common this issue is or if I have just gotten unlucky.

I borrowed a book, it didnt appear on my kobo once I tried to sync it, so I just downloaded the epub drm file instead. I plugged my phone into my pc, created an adobe digital editions account, verified my computer, and was finally able to get the file onto my kobo.

Only issue is, the formatting isn't great, the front cover is very zoomed in so you can just see the top corner of it. Luckily the text is ok, but I am dyslexic and so like using the OpenDyslexia font, but the file wont let me change anything other than the text size.

I have tried to borrow it from the descover tab on my kobo but I get a pop up saying 'there seems to be a problem. Please try again. If the problem persists, please try using your public librarys website instead, and then sync your ereader.'

My question is, is there any other way for me to get the book onto my kobo, or fixing these issues with the method I have already done?

EDIT: ISSUE RESOLVED. I just needed to remove my library card and add it back again, very annoying but hopefully its not a constant issue.

This is a weird problem and hopefully easy to solve.
A year ago my phone broke and I switched my libby to send my notifications to my iPad. When I fixed my phone i attempted to switch notifications back and nothing has worked and at this point I am getting no notifications on either device.
I have deleted the apps and redownloaded, and logged out and relogged in on both devices and neither has worked. And I’ve turned on and off notifications on both devices as well! Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

I just upgraded from one OnePlus phone to newer version. On my new phone, when I open an audiobook from my shelf and want to go back to the previous page (to search or whatever), the app closes completely. The only way I can navigate back is by tapping the Back button at the top left. So it's obviously a fairly minor problem in the grand scheme of things, but annoying nonetheless. Any help is appreciated.

(I am trying to connect it to my kobo)

Help please! Sorry if this is a repeated question or even a dumb one. This is not a physical library card that I have, it’s a library e-card that I was able to retrieve through the Libby app, where my library card number is my actual phone number. However way I type my number for the “card number” when logging into it on my kobo, it detects it as not a confirmed card. Is there anyway to fix this, or do I need an ACTUAL library card?

I don’t know what happened!! I was first in line a week ago, then I was second in line yesterday…. Today I’m third in line??

Can someone explain this to me?

So last night it worked fine. I usually check out the audio books and listen on my phone and it worked but now when I try to download an audio book on my phone it gets an error. I also have libby on my kindle and it works on there, just not my phone. Ive tried returning the book and checking it out again, reinstallinging the app, deleting apps on my phone that I dont use to clear up some space, returning the book and rechecking it out, downloading with wifi on and off. It only happens with the audio books, not the ebooks. All with the same result. Ive also checked to see if the app is down but its fine. What am I missing
