With it, you can very quickly search DCPL resources and find information and materials wherever you are. Notice a new book by a favorite author? Check the library for a copy.

I would really use this app if it actually worked. I'd say 14/15 times I look up a book, it says not found. really unhelpful.

This is a very BASIC app (No frills), and that's OK. We need more libraries around the country to do an APP for their libraries as this will become a very useful tool for folks to get a book on hold, etc. For me the DCPL is a bit for as I'm located on the WEST COAST :-) This is a GOOD thing (APP for the library). I'm looking forward for more libraries to join in the 21st century and get their own APPS :-)

Great app for D.C. Public Library users 4.0 stars

This is a very nice application for D.C. Public Library users. You can search, store your account information to put items on hold, select the pickup library. Some nice improvements would be to use the advanced/power search features available on the main library site, view account information, and renew materials using the app. I applaud DCPL for being the first library to create an iPhone/iPod app.

There aren't many interesting ways to search libraries' collections but this is one of them. Placing holds on the go is very convenient. I can't wait to see what the next version does too.

This is really easy to use and a great way to quickly find and reserve library materials. The Google integration rocks!
