BPLMobile puts the library in the palm of your hand

Use your mobile phone to find what you want at Burlington Public Library starting December 2.

BPLMobile is the new mobile application for your smart phone that allows library members to take Burlington Public Library with them wherever they go. Burlington Public Library Mobile (BPLMobile) users can browse the collection, reserve items, manage their accounts, check the library’s hours and locations, and connect to the library’s social media sites.

“BPLMobile takes the most popular features from our website and puts them instantly in our customers’ hands,” says Maureen Barry, chief executive officer. “As one of the first libraries in Ontario to offer this service, we can now open the doors to the library even wider to serve our community better.”

  1. Make sure your device has wireless Internet access
  2. Go to your device’s app store and search for BurlingtonPL (iTunes, Blackberry App World, Android Market)
  3. Download the application – it’s FREE!
