Adding multiple libraries & cards to libbyapp.com (similar to Overdrive)

It is a pain to switch between library cards on the Kobo for checkout purposes, but I can always see everything I have checked out so long as I have checked in all my cards on that reader at some point (or perhaps this is because I logged in on the Kobo ereader first using my overdrive.com account where I had linked all my libraries/cards).

Also, with the impending demise of the Overdrive app, have you tried this page?
https://libbyapp.com/interview/menu
which will likely redirect you to:
https://libbyapp.com/interview/menu#mainMenu
Just like in the Libby iOS app, I added multiple libraries and multiple cards for one library system where my family members each have their own card (and let me see / read their checkouts, and vice versa, haha).
They appear to all show up together on the Shelf page on libbyapp.com, though who knows how this might work starting May 1 and whether/how the Kobo ereader user interface might change. (Wish I could have sped this up by first logging into my overdrive.com account - maybe I could have, but did not see that option.)
Would certainly be nice if they added a quick-change feature to switch between accounts rather than the cumbersome system they use now.
I will probably continue to do most of my checkouts in a web browser on my Mac or iPad and perhaps, starting May 1, in the iPad Libby app.
