A new smartphone application and mobile website allow patrons of the Vernon Area Public Library to find books, DVDs and other items using their Web-enabled mobile phone.

The mobile website and its companion app provide patrons quick access to the most popular library services. Search the catalog and place items on hold, renew checked-out items or save records for later use. Easily find the library’s hours, phone number or driving directions. Find upcoming events, register for library classes, or even contact a librarian.

The mobile website is located at http://m.vapld.info and works on any Web-enabled phone. iPhone and Android users can download the app by searching for “LibraryAnywhere” in the iTunes App store or Android Marketplace.

The app download is completely free and easy to use.  A library card is required for some services.
