Placing Holds 

If you have not yet set up your account, click here. Once logged in, find and select the title in your preferred format, then click the Place Hold button. You will receive an email notice when that item is ready for you. The Library will hold it for you on our Reserves Cart near the Circulation Desk, until the expiration date on your notice. Items on the cart have already been checked out to you. Keep in mind that we need to have requests placed by 8:30 am for same day pickup.

 Login Tips for Overdrive/Libby

• The two systems, library catalog and Overdrive/Libby, are synced and Overdrive/Libby now requires a PIN. Have you set up an account to log into the South Burlington library catalog to renew library items etc.? If so the password used there would be the PIN for Overdrive/Libby.
• If not, go to https://sburl.agverso.com/home?cid=sburl&lid=sburl
• Log in with your library barcode number and userpass as password. You will then be prompted to create a personal password.
• Be sure to enter library card barcode exactly (case sensitive)
• If the letter O does not work perhaps it is the number 0 – What might look like the number 8 could be the letter B…
• Libby/Overdrive does not recognize anything other than a number or a letter at the end of library barcode.
• You will need to contact the Library by June 11 or after our move to the new location to obtain a new barcode.
• If your card has expired you will not be able to access Libby/Overdrive between June 12 and our reopening.
• Staff will not be available again for assistance until after we open at our new location.
• Please check your accessibility before we close our location at the Mall.

• We have been hearing from some folks that they are having issues with their Libby app.
  They have tried this and were able to get in successfully. In the Libby app tap Menu > Library cards. Tap on your library card and Unlink Card. Tap again to confirm. Close the Libby app. Wait maybe 20 minutes and launch Libby again and add your card under Menu>Library Cards>Sign in to see if all is good.

Please read the following documents if you are interested in how we are handling safety.
