Have you downloaded the library’s new mobile
app? NO! You are so missing out! Are you a current app user still using the old
one? Don’t worry. All your account information such as checkouts, holds, etc.
will carry over to the new app so DON’T
WAIT. It’s available in the App Store and the Play Store. It’s so easy to find
it. Just search for “calcasieu” in the
appropriate store. By the way, the new app’s image
includes our new mascot, Pierre the Pelican.
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. What’s so cool about this new app? Get that cup of coffee or tea and get ready to be wowed. Where to start? What about finding stuff in the collection. Not only can you search or browse for books, music, movies, etc., but you can do this in real time. What does that mean? As soon as titles are added to our collection, they can be found within the app. So? With our old app, that’s not the case so YOU ARE missing out on some GREAT TITLES.
While searching/browsing for titles in this new app, you can filter by format or filter titles by what they are. What does that mean? Here’s an example. By using the filtering option, you won’t have to scroll through tons of pages of physical books when your preference is eBooks. Just browse through the list of eBooks. Yes, that might be tons of pages too, but that’s a good thing, right? 😊
Another feature within this app is the built-in virtual card. I know the old one had it too, but now it’s displayed right on the front page of the app, so you don’t need to dig for it.
And what about linked accounts? Got it! However,
in this case, you don’t need to log in and out to view checkouts, holds, etc.
Just toggle between those accounts. Are you wowed yet? Pretty cool, right?
There’s so many other cool features just waiting for you, so come on, download it
and enjoy!
