Library Announces New Improvements to B Mobile App

More than a library—access at your fingertips. Baltimore County Public Library is excited to announce updates for its B Mobile app, offering customers access to core library services right from their mobile devices. One of our goals is to provide a 21st century library experience, and B Mobile offers customers flexibility and convenience. 

From the app, customers can: 

• Access their library account, including current checkouts, holds and reading history. 
• Change their holds pickup location. 
• See nearest branches based on current location. 
• Self check out of items, including books, DVDs and video games. 
• See if the library has a title available by scanning the ISBN. 
• Connect with the library’s social channels. 
• View and sign up for events. 
• Save their library card and link cards of other family members to see checkouts. 

Recent updates to the B Mobile app also allow customers to: 

• Create custom lists. This is separate from a customer’s lists created on the website.  
• Filter search by product type (book, DVD, video game, etc.)
• Integrate Libby/OverDrive to let customers read ebooks or listen to audiobooks right from the B Mobile app. 
• Receive notifications on the app’s home screen when holds are available as well as other updates. Customers can turn notifications on in the settings tab. 
• Search the entire catalog or only Libby/OverDrive. 

Customers with automatic updates enabled on their devices receive the updated app automatically. Otherwise, users can manually update the B Mobile app.
