Do
you sometimes forget to bring your library card with you when you visit one of
our branches, but always have your phone?
Or, do you just have too many cards in your wallet? Well, we have a solution for you. Put your library card on your phone.
Download
either one of these free apps, Key Ring
or CardStar to your Android or iOS smart
phone. Add a new card, you won’t find us
in the list of vendors so just add it as other and name it what makes sense to
you. During the process of adding the
card, you will be prompted to scan the card.
The app won’t take the image of the barcode on the library card unless
it is just what it requires, so the distance and resolution need to be just
right before it moves on to the next step.
You
may find these apps useful for adding other types of cards, you should check
with the store or location where you use them to be sure they can read them
from a phone. We’ve just recently
installed the equipment to make this possible in your local library.
