Calvert Library is excited to announce the release of an enhanced version of its popular library app, which was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide safe and convenient services to the community.
The upgraded app builds on the original’s success, offering a host of powerful new features designed to make accessing library resources easier than ever.
“When we introduced the app during the height of the pandemic, our goal was to ensure people could safely check out books and access library services from their personal devices,” said Executive Director Carrie Willson. “This new version also significantly improves customers’ experience with finding the library events they love and getting great reading recommendations. It’s much more engaging visually and best of all, it enables families to manage everyone’s account in one place.”
What’s New in the Enhanced App:
- Multiple Card Login: Seamlessly manage all your library cards in one app—perfect for families and power users.
- Improved Catalog Search: Discover and reserve materials effortlessly. Place holds, choose pickup locations, pause or cancel holds, and more with an upgraded search experience.
- Integrated Room Booking: Reserve library meeting spaces directly in the app, with the ability to cancel reservations if plans change.
- Event Registration Made Simple: Far more easily explore, register for, and cancel attendance at library events, all within the app.
- Apple Wallet Integration: Add your library card to Apple Wallet for quick, contactless access to your library account.
- Self-Checkout: A carryover from the original app, customers can still check out materials directly from their smartphones
Whether you’re booking a meeting room, managing your holds, or checking out books, the app brings the library to your fingertips like never before. The new app is available now for download or update on the App Store and Google Play. If you’re already using the app, simply update to access the new features. New users can search for “Calvert Library” to get started today. Or visit our website for easy access to apps for all our services.
