MEET LIBBY!
Our Shepherd’s Library is more accessible than ever with “Libby!” This custom-curated collection of Ebooks and audiobooks is available to all Shepherd’s Library patrons and to those in the community! If you’re already a patron, get started here.
Meet Libby.
Here are simple instructions to start checking out ebooks and audiobooks from TSC Library through Libby:
- Download the Libby app on your phone or device.
- Go to “add card”. The card number must be 8 digits total. Add enough digits before your PIN number to create an 8 digit card number (ex. 00001234 or 00000123). For PIN, use just the none zero numbers of your PIN. If you have a 3 digit pin and using just those three digits doesn’t work, add a zero in front of those 3 digits and try again (ex. 0123 instead of 123).
- You’re in and can start borrowing immediately! Enjoy! Please let us know if you have questions or run into issues. Allow 24-48 hrs for a response. I hope this can be a tremendous blessing to you and yours.
Check back often as we add even more to our growing online library!
