Make the Most of Your Library...With the New PCLD App!
|
We've just launched a mobile app to make using your library more convenient! The PCLD App gives you access to our key website tools in an easy-to-use, mobile-friendly format!
- The Catalog Search Bar lets you browse our collection on the go--with all the same search features and limiters as our website catalog. Check our holdings, place reserves, even check out downloadable titles!
- Events helps you find free, fun, and informative programs at libraries throughout the county.
- My Account lets you view the status of your holds, check your due dates, renew materials, update your contact information, and more.
- Digital Collections and eMagazines give you quick access to our downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, streaming music, and movies.
- Research lets you access nearly 30 online research databases, including the Chilton car repair database, Encyclopedia Britannica, Gale Legal Forms, Infotrac Newsstand, Reference USA, and many others.
- There's even an ISBN reader, so if you see an interesting book while you're out, you can quickly check to see if it's available in our collection.
The PCLD App is available for Apple/iOS (in the App Store) and for Android devices (
here
). Watch this section of our newsletter for a deeper look at our app features in the months to come!
