Nassau County, NY - April 14, 2015 - The Nassau Public Libraries Mobile application, which is compatible with Apple devices, and will include Android service soon, is available for download free of charge and launched with 46 Nassau libraries this spring.

Users have the ability to search for materials, view events and programs, and find additional information. After a user chooses their home library, the remaining menus will change based on that library’s offerings and stay that way for future use. Patrons can search for movies, books and video games; audio and ebooks can be downloaded directly to a mobile device for instant access.

According to Farmingdale Public Library Director Debbie Podolski, “The Nassau Public Libraries Mobile app provides a user-friendly interface for patrons to take advantage of all that the library offers through their personal smartphone or tablet, enhancing the overall library experience.”     

Through the “museum passes” portal, patrons can visit a library webpage to view a list of available museum passes. Another key component, the research button, sends users to online resources and homework help.

Patrons have the ability to view their checked-out items and holds and other features. Users can select to receive notifications about library news and account status.

Nassau library users are invited to explore this dynamic application and connect to the services, programs and activities at their libraries. Visit your app store and search “Nassau Public Libraries Mobile.”
