BRIDGES

To start reading or listening on your device at home, you will need to install the Overdrive or Libby app; both are available on your device's app store. (I recomment Libby, as Overdrive will soon start phasing out.)

Overdrive Set-Up Instructions:

Steps 1-6 (initial set-up ONLY).  Skip to Step 7 for instructions on how to find materials to check out.

1. Find and install the Overdrive app from the AppStore.
2. Once installed, open the app.
3. Click "Sign in".  It will redirect you to another page, where you will click "sign in using library card."
4. Click Search by Location, and type in "50072" for the zip code and then "Go".
5. Select "Earlham Public Library".  After you do this, you will have to select our library from the drop-down menu again by scrolling down to the E's (for Earlham) and select "Earlham Public Library".
6. After you've selected our library, a login will appear.  Enter your library card number and then put your phone number in the password area. Then click Sign in.
7. Now you may add titles to your bookshelf.  If your bookshelf is already open, you may click the icon that says "Add a Title."  It will redirect you to the Bridges website.
8. If your bookshelf is not open, you can click the 3 lines in the upper left-hand side to open the menu and you can either open the bookshelf or follow the directions in step 7 or just click the "Bridges" button right in the menu.
9. You will need to sign in on Bridges using your library card, if it did not log in automatically.  It should save your information after doing this the first time.
10. Once logged back in you are now able to browse, search and check out materials to your device.

Libby Set-Up Instructions:

*You will only need to follow these steps for the initial set up.  Once set up, skip to step 9.

1.Find and install the Libby app from the AppStore.
2. Once installed, open the app.
3. The app will ask you if you have a library card, click "Yes".
4. Click "I'll search for a Library", and enter "50072" for the zip code.
5. Click the one that says "Earlham Public Library".
6. You will need to click on "Earlham Public Library" (in maroon colored type)
7.Enter your library card number and put your phone number in the password area. Select sign in.
8. Once your Card is loaded, click Next and it will open Bridges, where you are now able to browse, search and check out materials to your device.
9. Once open, click on "Library" in the lower-left corner to browse Bridges, or click on "Shelf" in the lower right corner to see/open the materials you have checked out.
