Vernon Area Public Library Announces App
All the features Apple and Android users have been missing

Vernon Area Public Library officials are pleased to announce the return of the Vernon Area Public Library app.
In November 2023, the developer of the library app terminated services without warning, a move that affected patrons of Vernon Area Library and many other public libraries across the US and Canada. Service is now restored. Library officials confirmed with the vendor that no further service interruptions are foreseen.
“We know our patrons missed having an app,” said Library Director Anne Rasmussen. “We are very happy it is available again.”

The library app provides convenient, one-stop access to browse or search the library catalog, manage holds, sign up for library events, reserve a study room, and get answers to your library questions via instant message.
Additionally, the app serves as a portal to popular services for e-books, digital audiobooks, and streaming video, including Libby by OverDrive and Hoopla Digital.

Another popular feature is the ability for users to store a digital copy of their library card, eliminating the need to carry a physical one.
Apple and Android users can find the free download in their app store. Those who need help with or have a question about the app can call the library 224-543-1485, email AdultDesk@VAPLD.info or visit the library website at http://VAPLD.info.
