With the Spydus Mobile library app you can request and renew items, and update your details. You can also use the barcode feature in place of your library card. The app is available for Apple and Android but may not work on newer versions of Android. An updated version of this app is coming soon.

Get started
Find the app in your device store and install. The app is called Spydus Mobile and shouldn’t be confused with Spydus Go.

• Spydus Apple app
• Android app

In the app:

1. Choose Select Library, search Falkirk and choose Falkirk Libraries.
2. Log in with your library card number and PIN. 
   

You will be able to choose your home library from the drop-down menu. The app will show the items from all libraries you have visited.

Spydus mobile app features

• Manage your loans and reservations.
• Search the library catalogue and place reservations.
• Save your searches.
• Manage your personal details. It is important to keep your email address up to date so we can send loan reminders and reservation notifications.
• Use the Borrower Barcode option in place of your library card.
• Scan book barcodes in shops to see if libraries have a copy of the book in stock.
• See what you have borrowed in the past.
  

Please note that the app only shows the loan items of the person logged in. It does not show dependants, though this will be a feature of the new app, which is coming later this year.

Using the app in place of your library card
You can use the library app in place of your library card. To display your borrower card, select the three lines in the top left and choose Borrower Barcode. Borrower barcode only shows when you are logged into the app with your library card number and PIN. You can show the barcode at the library counter when you are borrowing items.
