It contains 15 million copies of publications. Collections of books for different ages are regularly posted on the main page of the service. Some of those presented now are devoted to the Great Patriotic War, history, cinema, and cosmonautics.

In 2018, a library modernization program was launched in the capital. First, they were connected to a common information system. This made it possible to introduce a single reader's ticket (ECB) for all sites. The launch of the Library of Moscow service was the next stage. In 2023, it introduced an AI-based recommendation system. She offers the reader individual selections based on previously selected books.

As noted in the Moscow Department of Information Technology, to book and extend the shelf life of publications, you will need a standard or full account on mos.ru and the ECB.
