Does the library have a smartphone app?

Our website was built with mobile devices and small screens in mind, so while there is no dedicated mobile app, we do encourage everyone to make an app-like shortcut on your phone's home screen.

Please note this FAQ page is not updated regularly. Please visit the Android or iOS help doc directly for the latest how-to guides.

iOS Devices

Use the "Add to Home Screen" option built into the Safari web browser.

  1. Launch Safari and load the library website.
  2. If you are using an iPhone, at the bottom of the screen there will be an icon that looks like an arrow pointing away from a square, sometimes called the "share" or "bookmark" button. iPads will have this same button located near the URL bar at the top of the screen.
  3. Select the Add to Home Screen option. You may need to scroll left or right to see this option in the pop-up window.
  4. A new shortcut to our website will appear on your device's home screen.

Android Devices
