Libby/Overdrive PIN Verification

Due to recent technical issues with our Libby/Overdrive service, MRSPL cardholders may need to re-verify their PIN/password in Libby. If prompted to verify your MRSPL card, try using the 10-digit phone number (no dashes or spaces) that we have on file in your library account as your PIN/password. If you have set a custom password/PIN, use that custom PIN/password in Libby. If you continue to have issues re-verifying, or need to reset your password, please contact the library at 703-248-5031 (TTY 711) or consult our password reset instructions. 

CLOSED: Sunday, May 25 & Monday, May 26

The library will be closed Sunday, May 25 and Monday, May 26 in honor of Memorial Day and for building cleaning. Our digital collection is always available 24/7!
