New Mobile App For Library Users

Posted by lisap on 05 May 22

Wouldn’t it be great to access your library account at any time, from anywhere – the soccer field, standing in line at the grocery store or while cooking dinner? Now you can with a new and improved mobile app from Fauquier Public Library.

Here are a few of the highlights:

• Search the catalog, place holds, renew materials and more directly from your smartphone.
• Use the Managed Accounts feature to add family members’ accounts so you can manage their holds, renew checkouts and more!
• Store your library barcode (when you forget your library card but not your phone/device).
• Access “new and notable” items added to the library’s collection.

The app is available for download in the app store or Google Play – search for “Fauquier public library.”

Questions? Stop by the reference desk at your local library.

*The MyLibrary Mobile app will continue to function, however, for the best experience, MyLibrary Mobile App users are encouraged to install the new mobile app.
