ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB)—The Rapides Parish Library has unveiled a new mobile app, now available for download on both Apple and Android devices. This innovative tool is crafted to enhance the experience of library patrons, making access to resources and services not only more convenient but also more engaging. With a simple entry of your library card number, a world of information is at your fingertips.
Features of the RPL App
The RPL app boasts a variety of features designed to streamline the library experience:
- Digital Borrowing: Easily borrow e-books and audiobooks.
- Event Listings: Stay updated on library events and activities.
- Personalized Recommendations: Receive tailored suggestions based on your interests.
- Search and Reserve: Quickly search for, reserve, borrow, and renew library materials with just a touch.
With the RPL Library app, users can carry their library in their pocket, ensuring that access to knowledge is always within reach, no matter where they are.
Celise Reech-Harper, the Director of RPL, highlighted some standout features of the app. “If you’re out looking at books either in a friend’s library or in a shop, you can scan the barcode and then turn around to see if we have it in our collection,” she explained. “If you may not be as familiar with the library locations that aren’t in your immediate neighborhood and you’re driving around, you can pull up the app and it will give you driving directions to your nearest RPL branch.”
To embark on this digital journey, users simply need to download the app from the app store or Google Play, link their RPL Library card, and they are set to explore the library’s extensive collection of resources.
