City Library app

City Library's app allows you to search the catalogue, manage your account and check out materials.

Use the City Library app to discover new titles, borrow ebooks and e-audiobooks, and browse recommendations from staff and community members!

Log in just once to have instant access to a digital library card that you can use at the self-checkouts and service desks. You can add family members’ cards too — no need to carry multiple cards in your pocket.

With the app, you can:

  • Use it in place of a physical library card to scan at our self-checkouts/service desks;
  • Search for books by scanning an ISBN;
  • Search the collection and save titles for later;
  • Place and manage holds;
  • Renew checked-out items; and
  • Check library hours.
