Library Experience 4.0 Always connected

Libraries play a crucial role in promoting media literacy in our digitised and interconnected society. With smartphones, tablets, and apps now essential in our daily lives, it's no surprise that 92.3 percent of internet users access online services via their mobile devices.

Now is the time to take the library experience to the next level, offering a library app.

Everywhere and anytime, quickly and discreetly

With all services consolidated into one app, navigating the library has never been easier - whether you're inside the library or out. Library accounts are accessible 24/7, and both digital and analog media are available round the clock.

A library app seamlessly connects your library with your audience, enhancing interaction and community engagement. By embracing apps, libraries can offer new avenues for outreach, adding significant value to their strategic plans.
You couldn't meet current demands for intuitive design, advanced operation, and communication any better.
