Come on get APPy!





I was so excited to learn that the Madison County Library System recently unveiled a new look for their system.  New branding always carries some challenges, but these guys did an outstanding job of creating a fresh, new look for their libraries.



Along with a new logo, they have the very first public library app in Mississippi!  The app includes directions to their locations, updated news, and a texting feature for the important messages you don’t want to miss from the library.  The new app features a QR code reader to use with their digital wallpaper posters. The posters are equipped with easy to scan QR codes of their most popular adult fiction, teen, and children’s books. You can go to any of the supporting local businesses in Madison County and easily download eBooks and audiobooks to your mobile device while on the go. 

Their goal is to increase access, expand programming to meet patron needs, and increase the visibility of the libraries in their systems, which include Ridgeland, Flora, Canton, Camden and Madison.  In addition to the new app, they also have an updated website which was partially funded by a LSTA grant administered by the Mississippi Library Commission for the Institute of Museum and Library Science.  Take a look at the new website by visiting www.mclsms.org.

Kudos to our friends with the Madison County Library System!
