Having Trouble with Libby? I have double good news! The need to reverify is due to our upgraded ILS (integrated library management system) and the fix is very simple although specific.

With the recent upgrade to the library's library management system, the login credentials for Libby have changed slightly and simplified. After reverifying, all of your account history on Libby will be maintained and you can carry on as usual.

THE FIX: If you are asked to verify your library card or you are entering your library card for the first time, your username must specifically be entered in as a Capital P, a space, then the four digits of your library card number. The PIN will then be just the four digits of your library card number. For example, username: "P 0000" PIN: "0000" you would not include the quotation marks when you type them in.

Please feel free to call the library during open hours to have a staff person walk you through it if you have any trouble.

Happiest reading to you!

Coming Soon to the Crawford Public Library!
The library will debut its new library management system, Atriuum, on April 1, 2026! This system manages all the library's checkouts, patron accounts, and catalog searching. The change will double the number of features available to patrons and library staff alike while costing only half as much per year as the previous system. In preparation for the switch, the library will be closed Thursday, March 19th for staff training. Also, patrons’ checkout histories will not carry over to the new system. If you would like a copy of your checkout history before the switch, please feel free to reach out to the library in person M-F 12-6pm, through Facebook, by email at [email protected] , or over the phone at (308) 665-1780.
