Warwickshire Libraries to introduce quicker and more user-friendly online system in April

The online system currently manages Warwickshire Libraries’ book collection, e-resources, customer accounts, and loan history. It supports access to the online catalogue, Library App, online borrower account management and renewals, PC use in the library, Hublets, eBooks, eAudio, eMagazines and eNewspapers.

The new library management system will provide an improved user experience with several new features, including a new Library App which will enable customers to use a digital library card, making issues and renewals much more efficient.

The online system changeover will take place between Wednesday 9 April – Tuesday 29 April 2025, and during this period there will be temporary changes to some library services. For example, access to the library app and access to borrower accounts will be temporarily unavailable.

Customers will still be able to return, issue and renew their items, but will need to bring their library card with them to do this. New customers wishing to join Warwickshire Libraries will be able to do so by visiting a Warwickshire County Council library in person with ID.

Customers will also be able to continue using library computers and Hublets, and have access to eBooks, eAudio books, eMagazines and eNewspapers. They can also find information about library events and activities at www.warwickshire.gov.uk/libraries

At present, customers are unable to reserve items, but any pre-existing reservations will be carried across to the new system and be fulfilled once it is fully functional.
