What's New in Pocket Libraries
3.8
October 30, 2026
V3.8 Say hello to our Book Store! You can now buy a range of curated brand-new books right inside the app. Browse the shelves, add your favourites to the cart, and check out right alongside your merch. Delivery or pickup, pay by M-Pesa or card. A good book is only a few taps away. V3.7 We've grown to three! Our newest little library has opened its doors in Gigiri, tucked inside Waitabit Park. Freshly painted walls, shelves full of books, and the same warm welcome. Come find your next favourite read, a quiet reading corner, and a spot in our growing Pocket Libraries family. See you there! V3.6 Someone (who shall remain nameless) told us the app had gotten a little too convoluted. So we listened. This update is a big tidy-up: simpler screens, cleaner menus, and a lot less clutter, so finding your books, your card, and your way around is quicker than ever. Same Pocket Libraries, just easier to use. V3.5 Treat yourself, in-app! You can now pay for your Pocket Libraries merch right inside the app. Add your favourites to the cart, check out, and you’re done. No more hopping out to pay. More coming on this front soon. Watch this space. V3.4 New behind-the-scenes tools for our librarians to keep the shelves in order. You might also spot the occasional review straight from the Pocket Libraries team! V3.3 We've got a new membership tier! And it's free. Presenting: The Classics. For our readers of a certain vintage, The Classics is our free membership for anyone of retirement age. You get a library card, you get to take books home, and you get access to the whole Pocket Libraries collection. Because you're never too old for a good book. In fact, you've probably just had more time to get through them.
