I have a quick software recommendation for you today. And, if you’re like me and love taking advantage of the great resource that is your public (and/or private) library system, you will really like this free application for the Mac!
It’s called Library Books App. It allows you to track all of the books you have currently checked out (on as many accounts as you might have, which can be a lot for bigger families!) and even better, it lets you very easily, through the app itself, renew books and place holds for new ones (also monitoring when holds are available).
Integration with iCal is one handy feature, among many other great features. There are hundreds of library systems built in, and they are always adding more. The app adds a tiny icon in your menu bar and will tell you how many books you have checked out, when it’s time to return books, and when you have holds to pick up!
We use this application every day. One of the best free apps for the Mac (for avid readers) and we in the Campbell home highly recommend!
(PS… I was not paid to say all of this. We just love it!) 🙂
Great app I guess if you frequent more than one library. I just go to one library so everything I have is on their website with email notifications and all that jazz…
Well, the beauty of it is that all the info is just right there in your menu bar. A little number, and the color coding to let you know if you have books due or available for pick up. It might be more handy than you think 🙂
(And, we really only use one library, but it’s connected to many others that deliver to our library, so it’s like we have 30 libraries worth of resources.)
