I initially had problems setting this up. Nothing I did would cause the second library loans to appear on my KA1. It was very confusing, so I reset everything and started from scratch. Tada! Multiple Libraries. I love my KA1. I'll share my steps for other confused souls. I don't know how much of these are necessary, but this is how I got things working:

1) I created an OverDrive account at overdrive.com and linked my libraries to it on their site.
2) I reset my Libby install on my iPad by poking around the app. Tap on the library menu icon (≡) at the top right. Scroll the pane down, and tap on the Libby logo. This accesses an advanced menu. "Reset Application" is bright red at the bottom.
3) Now when setting up Libby from scratch, use your OverDrive account email and password.
4) The app will ask you to search for a library. Select one of the libraries you set up with your OverDrive account. You will be prompted to add your library card. Scroll down and log in with OverDrive instead. Now add the library card information.
5) Add your other libraries.
6) If you used a library card to log into OverDrive on your KA1, log out. Then setup OverDrive on your KA1 again. It will prompt you for a library, so I used the first one that I added to Libby. Then I logged in with my OverDrive username and password instead of the library card.
7) Sync your KA1
8) Multiple libraries!

I hope this helps. Thanks to all those above who pointed me in the right direction.
