I have a card. How do I access Libby?
On your Libby app, choose “Add Library”. Look for Nevada County, and make sure it’s for Prescott, AR. Our Library is called “ArkansasLibrary2Go”.
Once there, you should be able to log in. Your account number will be the number found on the back of your library card–the WHOLE number. Your password should be your phone number without any spaces or dashes. If your area code is 870, your password is your phone number MINUS the 870.
Why does Libby say I’m unable to access my account?
Your account has likely expired! Please call the library at (870)449-6015 or come in to the Library to renew.
Can I reserve an item online?
Yes! To reserve an item online, you need to go to our Catalog and sign in to your account. From there, you can search for whichever item(s) you’re looking for. Once you click on it, it will bring up that item’s record in our system.
On top of the record, there will be a button that says “Reserve This Item”. All you have to do is click that, and we’ll take care of the rest! Once we have the item for you, we will call, text, or email you to let you know it’s waiting for you in the Library.
