I use the library a lot…and I have the fines to prove it! Between my book club books, keeping the kids’ shelves fresh with new books and needed research materials, I am constantly on the BPL website searching, holding or renewing all of my books.
So, I was really excited to hear that the Brooklyn Public Library has just launched its first mobile app My BPL, now available for iPhone and Android. My BPL is a free app that allows readers to personalize their Library experience on-the-go as well as find new great titles from recent arrival and NYTimes Bestseller lists. Users will be able to:
- Search the Library catalog
- Save to-read lists of eBooks and eAudiobooks
- Manage their Library account (renew materials, place holds, etc.)
- Find detailed branch information including full GPS/mapping capabilities
- Scan an ISBN with their phone to search Library collections
Find the free iPhone app by searching iTunes with any of the following keywords:
– brooklyn library
– bpl
– mybpl
Find the free Android app by searching Google play store with any of the following keywords:
– brooklyn bibliocommons
– bibliocommons
