Albuquerque library launches app for iOS and Android

The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Library system has launched a mobile app for iOS and Android devices. The app lets patrons search the catalog, manage holds, renew checkouts, access their digital library card and reset their PIN, and find nearby library branches.

The “Public Library ABQ-BernCo” app is available in the App Store and Google Play.

“We understand our patrons lead busy lives,” said Kelli Murphy, acting library director. “We’re thrilled to offer an app that allows them to search, hold, and renew materials whenever it’s most convenient for them.”

“We all use our phones now for nearly everything, so we’re modernizing to create seamless access to library resources anytime, anywhere,” said Mayor Tim Keller. “This innovation makes things easier for everyone and strengthens the connection between the library and the families and institutions who depend on it.”
