Washington State Library App for libraries and library users


Posted April 11, 2014 by JulyRed

Washington State Library App is a mobile application that brings a lot of advantages to libraries and librarians, on one hand, and library users, on the other hand.

 
Library Now, a Washington State Library app developed by Boopsie is the best solution for public libraries and library users interested in connecting to one another easier and more rapidly than ever before.

This Washington State Library app provides public libraries with an extended market for their collections of books. Nowadays, it is very difficult to bring people into libraries, but with mobile applications that anyone could use, this is very easy.

Those interested in reading or in accessing multimedia content like music or movies would be happy to discover that with Library Now, they can find the exact hours of operation of many public libraries in Washington and even get directions to them.

But readers do not necessarily have to go to a public library to be able to read a book or another type of written document. As long as they download this application, they can access numerous free eBooks, eAudioBooks and create their own free eBook library.

In this free eBook library, they can include titles they have read, they are reading at the moment, or that they plan to read in the future. In addition, they can share these titles with friends, at the same time directing friends towards reading.

This application works on any of the mobile devices manufactured by Apple (iPhone, iPod and iPad), on Android devices, Windows 8 phones and Windows 8 desktop devices, and on Amazon's Kindle Fire.

To search for a certain item while using this application, you need to type the name of the book, movie or music track that interests you. This is very similar to using a search engine. The difference is that with this application, you do not have to type full words, just the first letters of the book or movie you want to find.

As an example, if you want to look for a book about Harry Potter, you only need to type "har pot" and the app will show you the available results. If you find the book that you want, you can place a hold on it and pick it up at your local branch.

Besides being able to read free eBooks and place a hold on the books they would like to borrow from a certain library, users of this application can also transform the camera of their electronic device into a barcode scanner and use it to see if a certain book is available for purchase.

However, in order to all that, libraries must be a member of the Library Now application; to see if your preferred library uses Library Now, type the name of the library in this app and see if it is there.

If it is, it means that you can enjoy all of the advantages provided by this application. If it is not, the next time you go to your library, ask the librarian for assistance.
