What is Libby / OverDrive?

The Beehive Library Consortium (often referred to as "Libby" or "OverDrive") is a digital library with ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, and other digital content. The consortium is managed by the Utah State Library Division and is made up of 70 member libraries.

Books are checked out using a Brigham City Library card on the Libby app or online. Checkouts are available offline when downloaded in Libby. There are no late fines. To view a partial catalog of titles, visit beehive.overdrive.com

A Note About Kindles

If the Libby app is not readily available on your Kindle device, check out the book using a different device (phone, computer, etc.) and use the "Read with Kindle" tool. This will prompt you to log into your Amazon account so that the book can be sent to your Kindle.

For instructions on sending books to Kindle, please view Libby's Help Page.

Request on Libby

To make a purchase request on Libby, use the "Notify Me" tag to let librarians know you're interested in a particular title. If the library buys the book, you'll be alerted through the app.

1. Search for the book and tap the three-lined menu.
2. Scroll and select "deep search".
3. Tap "notify me" on the book you want, then tap the bell tag.

PIN Help

January 14th, 2025:  Due to a recent update, the Libby app may prompt users to re-enter their library card PIN/password.

For help resetting or recovering a PIN, please follow the steps below under "What's my Libby password?" or "Why is Libby not working?"

For further help, please visit the Library during regular hours with your library card and photo ID to have a staff member reset your PIN/password.

How do I get a Libby account?
It comes with your card!
Every library card automatically comes with access to Libby/Overdrive. The password is the same as your library card PIN. If you've forgotten your PIN, visit the library with photo ID to have staff reset it for you.
Or use the "Forgot my PIN" feature under the "My Account" tab on the catalog.
What's my Libby password?
The same as your library account password.
The Beehive Library Consortium (Libby/Overdrive) syncs with your physical library card, so your PIN/passwords are the same.

If you've forgotten your PIN, you can send a reset link to the email address you provided to the library:

1. Visit the catalog (link below)
2. Select "My Account" at the top of the page (3-lined menu if using a mobile device).
3. Select "Forgot my PIN"

A reset link will be sent to whatever email address is on file with the library. You can also visit the library with a photo ID to have the staff reset your PIN. Staff do not disclose or reset PINs by phone or email.

Why is Libby not working?
Login Troubleshooting Tips
There are several reasons you may not be able to log into your Libby account:

1. Check your account expiration (library cards expire periodically)

2. Check your card number (verify zeros & don't include spaces)

3. Check or reset your PIN

4. Don't use auto-fill

5. Select 'Brigham City Library' (if you accidentally picked a different library, your login won't work)

6. Delete any old Brigham City Library cards from the app completely before adding the new one.

7. Pay off fines (fines over $5 block your online account)

8. Close and reopen the app.

If your account still doesn't work, please visit or call us at 435-723-5850.
Can I request a title for Libby?
Yes!
To request something from your device:

1. Open Libby & search for the book.
2. Tap the three-lined menu near the top.
3. Scroll & select "deep search" to see titles the library hasn't purchased yet.

5. Tap the bell tag.
