Cool tools: The Parish library mobile app!

The Parish libraries are 'app'ening places this week with the exciting rollout of our brand new mobile library app!

Patrons click a button on our website (see above) which takes them to a hosted URL.  Once they add the link to their home screen, they are ready to access the following library services from their smartphones:

*text a librarian

*email a librarian

*access the digital library powered by Overdrive (also new!)

*search our online catalogs

*follow our blogs for book recommendations and library happenings

*access online databases

Check out the Parish mobile library app below!

Cool tools for libraries OR there's an app for that

If you live on an iPhone, you may already know about Gale's cool tool, Access My Library.  With this free app, you can access the Gale databases of your school and public libraries.  Now that's cool!
