It can be hard work if you have to manage other people's library cards as well as your own. You can use the Library App to easily borrow and place holds for more than one library account.
The Library allows you to add multiple accounts, making it easy to manage individual accounts within the app. Find out how this feature works and get started setting up more than one account on your Android or iOS device.
This is useful if:
- You are looking after the library cards of your children and borrowing books for them;
- You borrow books for elderly relatives, or people in your care.

Adding extra accounts
You can link to additional accounts by navigating to the My Details menu and selecting Linked Accounts.
To add a new linked account, select + Add in the top-right corner of the screen. Then enter the barcode and PIN for the account you wish to link. Once entered, selecting Link will complete the process.
Alternatively, you can choose Scan Membership Card, which uses your device’s camera to scan the library barcode. This provides a quicker option and removes the need to manually enter the borrower number.
Selecting Linked Accounts again will display all linked accounts. You can also remove linked accounts if needed.
