First, make sure your local library offers Mango Languages to its patrons. If you are uncertain, check HERE.
Download the Mango Languages mobile app from the App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android). If you don't yet have a Mango profile, open the app, tap the Start Learning button and, after selecting the language you want to study, either go through a lesson or tap "Skip to Sign Up" to immediately create your profile. If you already have a Mango profile, tap Log In at the bottom of the screen and enter your login information.
Search for your Library
- Tap the three horizontal lines in the upper right hand corner.
- In the menu that slides out from the right, tap Unlock More Lessons.
- On the next screen, tap Search in the Find Mango box.
Authentication
- Tap the Search bar at the top of the screen in order to search for your library by postal code (US or Canada) or name. In the example screenshot below, we searched for the Manatee County Public Library by searching "Manatee". Clicking on your library's name may take you to a screen with a note that reads "NOTE: Your organization requires that you successfully authenticate using their website.". If you see this message, click HERE to see how to finish linking your Mango profile to your library.
- After searching for your library and tapping on your library's name, enter your library card number (as in the screen shot below), and then Done or Go on the keyboard.
- If you entered your library card number correctly it will say Success! Tap Continue to access more lessons.

In order to link your Mango profile to your library, you first need to create a Mango profile. Click HERE to get started. After you have created your profile, follow these steps:

- If coming from the "Organization" tab in your profile settings, click on the Link an Organization button.
- Search for your library by postal code (US or Canada) or name. In the example screenshot, we searched for the Manatee County Public Library System by simply searching "Manatee".
- Now, enter your library card number. (Some libraries also require a PIN number. If you do not know your PIN number, please contact your library for assistance.) After you have entered your library card number correctly, click the Connect button.
Clicking on your library's name may take you to a screen with a note that reads "NOTE: Your organization requires that you successfully authenticate using their website.". If you see this message, click HERE to see how to finish linking your Mango profile to your library.
- If you have entered your information correctly, you will see the message Your profile is now linked. Continue learning by clicking the Start Using Mango button.
