Central Coast Council is continuing to improve online services with the launch of the new Library Service app that provides easier access to resources, collections, events and news.

Rather than having to navigate to multiple web pages, the app collates the Library’s digital information and platforms in one mobile friendly location delivering services in the format the community have come to expect. 

Council’s Section Manager Library Strategy and Connection, Ben Hartley, is excited to launch the app and improve resident’s digital connection to their local library.

“This new app keeps pace with technological advances, delivering the online presence our customers have asked for,” Mr Hartley said.

“With the tap of the screen customers will be able to reserve items, scan book barcodes to search, view events as well as easy access to eBooks, eMags, music streaming and much, much more.

“In what is sure to be a bonus for families, you can link to multiple accounts allowing carers to store their own and children’s barcodes on one device which can be scanned in-branch.”

Mayor Lisa Matthews said the app creates an ease of engaging with the libraries, providing access to those who live, work or study on the Coast anywhere, anytime.

“This app delivers services in the format residents want, providing our community more choice to connect, learn and relax in a way that works for them, anywhere, anytime,” Mayor Matthews said.

“Whether you’re after new reading material or music for your commute, online study help, children’s educational resources or want to learn a language there’s something for every age and interest.

“With holidays right around the corner there’s really no better time to uncover what your modern library has to offer.”

The new app is available now. Simply search Central Coast Council to download for free from Apple’s iTunes store and Android’s Google Play.
