This iPhone app was created by one the network’s patrons. He created it to make his library life  more mobile, and it is available as a free download from the iTunes Store. Unfortunately, it only works with the iPhone and not the iPod Touch.

When I first heard about the app, my first concern was patron privacy, but the creator/owner of the app, guaranteed that he collects no data. The application only communicates with you (the user) and the Minuteman Library Network’s servers.

You can read about & download the app here:

Unfortunately, no patrons or librarians have made an application for Android or Palm, but, hopefully, one will appear sometime in the near future.
