More than a library — access at your fingertips. Baltimore County Public Library is excited to launch its new "B Mobile" app, offering customers access to core library services right from their mobile devices. One of our goals is to provide a 21st century library experience, and B Mobile offers customers flexibility and convenience.

From the app, customers can:

• Access their library account, including current checkouts, holds and reading history
• Change their holds pickup location
• See nearest branches based on current location
• Self-checkout of items, including books, DVDs and video games
• See if the library has a title available by scanning the ISBN
• Connect with the library’s social channels
• View and sign up for events
• Save their library card and link cards of other family members to see checkouts

The app is available for both Apple and Android devices. Search Baltimore County Public Library in the Apple App Store or the Google Play store.

Parent University is offered through the BCPS Office of Family and Community Engagement, which we affectionately call FACE! We provide tools and resources to BPCS families to support learning at home. In the past, before social-distancing, one of the ways we offered these resources was through in-person workshops hosted by community members and schools. We also have a large collection of online resources that are available as we navigate through this incredibly unique time in our lives. We hope you enjoy what we have to share.
