Use the Library on Your Phone

Page Content
Are you busy and always on the go?  Do you own a smartphone?  You can find books, DVDs and other library materials with a quick tap of your finger.  It's easy.

Point your mobile device to the library's catalog at http://vbplcat.vbgov.com.  You'll be automatically redirected to our mobile catalog --- powered by LibraryAnywhere.  If you have an Apple or Android device, you can also download the LibraryAnywhere app in the Apple Store or Android Market for a more customized experience.

Check out and download e-books and audiobooks to your mobile device, too.  The Overdrive Media Console is available for free in both the Apple Store and the Android Market.  You can also visit the Overdrive site to download the required software for other devices including Blackberry and Windows Mobile and 7.

Research hundreds of topics by searching within trusted resources such as Consumer Reports, News Week or the New Yorker.  It's possible with Access MyLibrary App from Gale.  Download this app to your Apple or Android device.   It uses GPS to find a public library within a 10-miles radius of you so that you can access the library's resources.

Looking for quality magazine and newspaper articles?  Search ESBSCOhost Mobile anytime and anywhere.  In the Apple Store, there's also a free app available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. 

Where ever you go, take the library with you!
