Libby: Use a “juvenile” filter to narrow down the content available for kids.  There is no set way to set a lock or pin on kids content in Libby.  However, Sora is Libby’s sister app, and is used by many local schools.  If a child’s school uses Sora, they can add their library card number to their account and the viewable material will be filtered by the age-level set by the school.
