Access Your Library Anytime, Anywhere with the Lake Mac Libraries App

Lake Mac Libraries recently launched a new app for Apple and Android devices – making accessing the library easier than ever.

Users are able to track loans, access e-books and search the entire 600,000-plus catalogue to view and reserve items at any branch.


 

 
Manager Arts, Culture and Tourism Jacqui Hemsley said “Across the board, our aim is to bring our libraries into the modern era and make them more accessible to everyone in the community.”


 

 
With the app, library users can use their smartphone as a library card, managing multiple accounts – children, partner or family – using one device. It also provides access to thousands of e-audiobooks, and GPS-powered information about a user’s closest library branch and how to get there.


 

 
Users can also scan the barcode of any book to check if it is in the Lake Mac Libraries collection. If it is, they can then reserve it at their local library.
