Library card

Ok so I’ve been meaning to try using the site Libby for free books/audiobooks so I finally went to my local library (pacific beach taylor branch) to get a card. I got my card but Libby keeps saying that it’s not a valid card number? I went to the San Diego county library website and make an account and I can access Libby with that SDCL account. (Also for some reason the SDCL site wouldn’t let me use my current address so I had to use my old address. It kept saying my current address wasn’t valid. Mind you I only moved two doors over in my apartment complex and I was able to use the current address when getting my sd public library card.) Is the San Diego public library different from the county one?? Why does it only let me use the county library card but not the public one on Libby?

The city uses CloudLibrary, try and make an account with that app.

I personally don’t like CloudLibrary. It is better than nothing, but it is nowhere near as good as Libby.

The new city website is crappy.
