The Library app - your library on the go
10,000 Gentofte residents already use the library's app actively.
Once you have downloaded the app, you'll get a quick overview of your loans, reservations, and you'll receive direct notifications when you need to return or pick up materials.
Download the app on the App Store or Google Play
Scan & Borrow
One of the popular features in the app is "Scan & Borrow", where you can borrow materials directly on your phone – smart and simple.
Get notified when it's time to pick up or return
To fully benefit from all the features of the app, it's important to allow notifications. That way, you'll automatically receive notifications when your reserved materials are ready for pickup and when it's time to return them.
New features in the app
We're constantly working to improve the app to make it even more flexible to use. And there are indeed more advantages to using the app.
Keep track of children's loans
With the new Multi-User feature, parents can keep track of their children's loans. It's also possible to add users across municipalities to the same user list, making it easy to switch between them.
Find "My page" in the app and click on your name. Here, you'll get a menu where you can add or remove users. You can have up to ten users. However, if a user changes their password, you'll need to log in again.
Pause reservations
You also have the option to pause your reservations directly in the app. For example, if you're going on vacation or engrossed in another great book.
Under "My reservations," tap on the three dots in the top right corner and select how long the pause should be. It's a good idea to pause reservations at least seven days before you actually need the break.
Unfortunately, our system can't halt the books in transit once it's your turn to borrow.
Set an interest date
When you join the waiting list for a material, you also have the option to set an interest date, where you can specify how long you're willing to wait for the book.
Download it on the App Store or Google Play
Want your library with you on your phone or tablet? Then you need to download the "Biblioteket" app from the Apple Store or Google Play.
When you download the app, select your municipality, and you're ready to go. The login is the same as what you use to log in to our website."
