App available for the County Library System

July 6, 2011   ·   0 Comments

 The Palm Beach County Library System has launched an “app” for the online library catalog.

 The app, called BookMyne, is currently available for the Apple iPhone.  (Support for other smartphones coming soon.) The application offers direct access to in-demand library resources, information and services.
                             
The BookMyne app allows you to check your account for availability of previously placed holds, overdue items and overdue fines. You can also search for items and immediately place holds on them. Using your iPhone camera, you can scan an item’s barcode and check its availability in the library.

 The app is equipped with GPS so you can pinpoint the location of your local library. With one touch, you can also call the library and speak to a staff person. The app also provides recommendations via Goodreads and the New York Times best-seller list.

 Visit the Apple App Store to download and install the free BookMyne application. Visit the Library’s website for details and an instructional video.
