ATTENTION: To avoid known glitches it is best to link your accounts from a computer browser or device other than what you normally use for Libby. 

To link a previous OverDrive Libby account to your DoD account

  • Go to My Account on this site (login at top right if you do not see My Account). 
  • Click "Manage." This will open up the eResources Management window. 
  • In the text box below the OverDrive logo, enter the username you want to merge with your DoD MWR account. 

Click "Save eResource Settings" 

To avoid known glitches: If you used a tablet or mobile device browser to update your login information, please sign out of DoDMWRLibraries.org on your mobile device before going to the next steps.  

Once your account is linked:

  • Remove your previous account card from Libby. See instructions on removing card here.
  • Go to the main menu on Libby (center icon on the bottom of the screen).
  • Find "Department of Defense" in your library list or add if you don't see it listed.
  • Click on "Sign In With My Card."
  • Choose "DoD MWR Libraries" from the list of locations. 
  • Click "Next" to redirect to the authentication page, then sign in with your DoD ID and birthdate. 

Your card in Libby will now say "Linked Card" and your account should populate with your account transactions and information from merged account. 

 If you have any issues after completing instructions above or have other OverDrive Libby account issues, please send request for help here
