Penny is a heavy user of the Boston Public Library (BPL). She downloaded the new BPL Mobile App the day it was announced and has been using it and raving about it ever since!
When we get ready to go for a walk, she can do a quick check to see if any of the books on our "borrowed shelf" are due. And, with a couple of touches, she can check "renew it" if eligible.
Anytime we are near the library, she can open the app and, in one touch, see if she has any "holds" that are ready for pick up.
When a friend recommends a book, she can do a search to see if the library has a copy and put it on hold or add it to her "personal bookshelf" to borrow at a future date.
It's a well-designed, efficient, and very useful app and a welcome addition to the Boston Public Library's outstanding array of digital services.
