Unfortunately our little library does not have a library app available for download so I decided to try out one of the other libraries apps listed on the mobile page.
Anoka County Library: Upon opening this app I was surprised by the amount of options that you are given. You are able to search the library catalog, look at your accoutn, booklook by ISPN number, download ebooks, look at their event calendar, locate their library and even ask the librarian a question. I decided to search the library catalog to see what kinds of things that I could find. I searched for the author Jodi Picoult and was given a list of various titles that were available in there system. Overall I think this is a great app that serves a wide variety of different purposes.... now if only we could get something like this for our library.....
Ebooks: We do have ebooks at the library!! I, myself, use the overdrive app to access books that are in the library system. This is an easy and convenient app to use and it gets more and more popular everyday. The only downfall of downloading books on overdrive is sometimes they are not available for quite awhile. The other problem that I have seen patron's have is the inability to get the book to open and stay on the page that they left off on. On my phone I also use the Kindle app alot and find that I can open books from Overdrive in that app and it works better for me. I enjoy reading books on these apps when I'm on the go or in a stop where I'm not going to take a huge book with me. The only downfall is when looking at a little screen to read a book, you end up with headaches or your eyes start to hurt.
Some ebooks that I recommend:
- The Secret of Ella and Micha by Jessica Sorensen
- Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
- Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan
- Slammed by Colleen Hoover
- Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
