Use your Smartphone as your Library Card

Use your iPhone, Android, or Blackberry to check out items from the Library. Free apps like CardStar, Stocard and Key Ring let you store your library card barcode on your phone. You enter your barcode number from your library card and it creates a scan-able barcode we can use at the library in place of your regular library card. When it comes time to check out, just present the barcode on your Smartphone to the staff at the desk. Here's how: Install the app on your smart phone. Open the app and select [+] to add a new barcode. Select "Add plastic card" Select "(Other)" Type or scan your barcode number in the “Card Number” box In the Card Title box, type Tablelands Library Select “Save” in the upper right corner. Please remember you are still responsible for your library card and its use. Treat it like a credit card and report to us any stolen or lost cards ASAP, so we can deactivate your card
