LIBRARY & MUSEUM NEWS <br />L <br />i <br />MOBILE CHECK OUT AT THE LIBRARY <br />The Louisville Public Library is <br />delighted to offer virtual library <br />cards, mobile checkout and <br />interactive receipts to all library <br />users through the cloudLibrary <br />app. <br />With cloudLibrary, a patron's <br />library card is just a touch <br />away, eliminating the frustra- <br />tion of a forgotten or misplaced card. The virtual card <br />can be used for any library transaction that <br />traditionally required a physical card. In addition, users <br />can add multiple cards and switch between accounts <br />with ease. <br />cloudLibrary users can favorite, mark as read, and sort <br />and filter a digital record of their library borrow <br />history. This helps library users manage the items <br />they've borrowed and remember which books they've <br />already enjoyed. <br />The app also allows library users to view and cancel <br />current hold items, renew currently borrowed materi- <br />als, and receive due date reminder notifications - <br />helping users avoid late fees and return items on time. <br />cloudLibrary's My Book Bag feature offers busy library <br />users a fun and functional way to ensure they have <br />all of their returning items before visiting the library. <br />Great for parents with kids who checkout many books <br />during each visit, the My Book Bag feature allows <br />users to mark which items they've physically collected <br />before leaving home. <br />Mobile checkout eliminates the need to visit the <br />selfCheck kiosk or circulation desk to borrow items. <br />Using cloud Library, patrons can now check out <br />materials using their own digital device. <br />"We're excited about this service and the increased <br />convenience it provides for our patrons both in and <br />outside of our Library's walls;" says Lisa Merly, <br />Circulation Supervisor. <br />The new service is offered at no cost to all Louisville <br />Public Library patrons, requiring only a valid library <br />card. The cloudLibrary app is available for free through <br />the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Users simply <br />follow the prompts and login using their library card <br />number. <br />Don't have a library card?
