Libby

 To access the CW MARS OverDrive Digital Catalog, a library card should be obtained from your local library.   Your local library can also help locate your number if you may have forgotten it of if you are unsure if you have a card. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it using this link.

1. Download the Libby app for iOS or Android and open it up. When asked if you have a library card, click Yes. 
2. Then click Search For A Libary. 
3. On the next page, type in CW MARS and select CW MARS from the list.  Click Sign In With My Card. 
4. When asked where you use your library card, select CW MARS Patrons. 
5.  On the next page, enter your CW MARS library card number, (without spaces or dashes) and click Next. 
6. Enter your CW MARS My Account password. 
7. Click Sign In, then Next. You can now search the CW MARS Digital Catalog.

• eBooks, audiobooks and magazines can be borrowed for 7, 14 or 21 days.  
• The default is 14 days.   
•  Streaming video can be borrowed for 3, 5 or 7 days. The default is 5 days.  
• Patrons can change the default by logging into their account settings at cwmars.overdrive.com  
• Patrons can borrow up to 10 titles at a time and place up to 10 holds. 
• Magazines are always available.   
•  Some titles may have set lending times that are different than the defaults.

For example, you received an error stating "Session Expired", and signing in again does not resolve the error. The easiest fix is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Downloaded items will be removed from the device when the app is uninstalled, but they will stay attached to your card. Once the app is reinstalled, you can re-link your card to the app, and you loans and holds will return. Note that you may lose your place in your audio and books.

Several publishers have recently announced changes to their lending terms that restrict libraries’ ability to purchase materials. We are not always able to purchase a title (or extra copies of a title), even when we know there is high demand for it. In the meantime, we probably have the title you want in a different format, or we are happy to help you find other, similar authors or titles while you wait. Contact your local CW MARS member library for assistance.
