App Update - May 2026
The Luton Libraries app is getting an update on the 5th of May, bringing a refreshed design and new features to make using your library even easier.
With the updated app you can:
- Browse and book library events
- Book a library computer
- Read the latest library news
- Explore lists of new and notable stock
These new features sit alongside the existing tools that let you manage your library account, renew items and more.
If you already use the app, it will update automatically (you may need to log out and back in for the changes to appear).
If you don’t yet have the app, you can download it free for Android and iOS from your app store.

FAQs
How do I sign in?
Open the app, choose Sign In, and enter your library card number and PIN. If you're new, visit any branch or use the online form to join first.
