Mobile Library App

The NEW Mobile Library App is Here!

As of May 2024 you can download the new Lakeland library Cooperative mobile app. If you use the online catalog, this will look very familiar as it is from the same company.

Play with the app to learn, ask us questions, and see the full instructions if needed.

Note: The app icon is the same as the old one, but the app itself is all new. You must uninstall the old one if you still have it, then install the new one.

Get Started

  1. Go to your app store and search for "Lakeland Library Cooperative".

Notes

  1. Some newer iPhones are not scanning barcodes properly as of May 2024. This bug is being worked on. You can also type in barcodes by tapping the keyboard icon at the top of the self-checkout screen.
  2. New items shown on the home screen are across the entire cooperative and may not be available for checkout immediately at HPL.
  3. When searching the catalog in the app, results are for the entire cooperative. In the web catalog, you first see only HPL results and then must search the cooperative intentionally if desired.
