Why download another app?
We get it. There's an app for everything. But for library lovers, this is the one app you need!
One app, total access. We've consolidated all third-party library apps (Libby, hoopla, Kanopy, etc.) and our physical collection into one app. Plus, it shows events and quick links to your favorite library services!
Seamless, secure, personalized. Search all your titles in one spot on your mobile device, and log in with biometrics to ensure top security AND never forget your password. Win-win!
Built for community, for growth, for you. Because the app is managed by PLS, we are able to quickly apply updates and feedback. We built and routinely improve this app for you, our customers.
Our customers love it. Don't take it from us! Here are some reviews from our customers:
"[I like most the] large selection and not needing to go to a library facility on a regular basis."
"I love being able to listen to books at my choosing!! It is very nice to be able to have such access to this with just the need of a library card."
"Much easier 'on the go' access and navigation. It wouldn't be nearly as convenient to log into the website from my mobile or tablet."
"I use it two ways - one when I'm checking out materials, and secondly, when I want to see what is in the library's catalog. It is a good compliment to Libby, which I use almost daily."
"It's an easy way to get library books when I'm away from my computer."
More than a decade of innovation
PLS was the first library system in the country to develop its own locally developed mobile app with our partners, Phase 2 in 2015. Over the past decade, PLS Connect has removed barriers of location and time, making library materials more accessible than ever.
For ten years, our customers have trusted PLS Connect to manage their library interactions securely and reliably. Thank YOU for relying on the app, providing feedback, and spreading the word about PLS Connect!
