Introducing the free Edinburgh Library App available from today. The first of its kind for a Scottish public library, the Edinburgh Library app is available free now for Android devices now and will shortly be available for Apple, Blackberry and Windows devices.
The Edinburgh Library App has up to date information about library events, activities, and service updates that are usually only available on the library website. The app will also include Bus Tracker, First Bus timetable information, and additional content from Edinburgh City Libraries.
We’re very excited about this brand new way for citizens and visitors to find out about the information and services available from Edinburgh City Libraries – no matter where they are.
The development of this App by Library Services and the Scottish company Solus makes the best use of technology for all customers by taking existing information and repackaging it for mobile devices. Your Library App will be developing to include features which allow you to send comments and images from your phone direct to the Library Service.
The app is available for Android users to download now. You can also download the app by scanning this QR (quick response code) into your camera phone – give it a go and tell us what you think!
Nice idea – are you also planning one for WebOS (HP, formerly Palm, used by Palm Pre and Palm Centro)
thanks for this – can’t say for definite just yet, but this is certainly an option we are exploring.
