The Minuteman Library Network, an organization that promotes sharing of books and other resources between a number of Massachusetts libraries, has released an innovative new smartphone app that is designed to make it easier than ever for users to go about taking maximum advantages of the resources on offer at their nearest or favorite library branch.
Perhaps the best feature of this app is the ability for users to stream video and audio and read e-books from the Minuteman Library Network.
Considering the proliferation of smartphones and the increased reliance on them by people who want to read or access information, it makes great sense to introduce an app that allows people to use library network resources on their phones and in the comfort of their own homes.
