Important Update: A new app called Spydus Library is now available.
It's not an update to the old Spydus app, so you'll need to download and install it separately. You can find the download links below.
The old mobile app will no longer work from the end of August 2025.
You can easily manage your library account with our Spydus Library app.
You can use this to:
- Use the Borrower Barcode option so you always have your membership number available – this works with the self-service kiosks in Solihull libraries.
- Check what loans and reservations you have and manage them, including renewing items
- Search the library catalogue and place reservations (now free for in-stock items). You can save searches
- Manage your personal details if you change address – please make sure your email address is accurate and up to date so we can send loan reminders and reservation notifications
- 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.
- Add and manage additional Library Cards.
