Find Events Quickly
All library events are listed in the app, and you can filter them by location, age group, and event type to find exactly what interests you.

Instant Book Lookup
See a book you want to check on—at a café, store, or anywhere else? Simply scan its barcode with the app to find out whether any HCPL branch owns a copy. If we don’t have it, you can request that we consider purchasing it.

Ratings and reviews

Useful, but needs some work. When you open the app the loading screen shifts as each section of the page loads (eg the search bar, the grab and go yellow box) it takes too long to load and i routinely hit the wrong option because the page shifts again.

App crashes every time I try to open it.

Awesome! A surprisingly good app. You won't regret downloading it.
