CENTRAL COAST COUNCIL
New library app to
boost digital access
Central Coast Council is continuing
to improve online services with the
launch of the new Library Service app
that provides easier access to resources,
collections, events and news.
Rather than having to navigate
multiple web pages, the app collates
the Library’s digital information and
platforms in one mobile friendly
location, delivering services in the
format the community have come to
expect.
Council’s Section Manager Library
Strategy and Connection, Ben Hartley is
excited to launch the app and improve
resident’s digital connection to their
local library.
“This new app keeps pace with
technological advances, delivering the
format residents want, providing our
community more choice to connect,
learn and relax in a way that works
for them, anywhere, anytime,” Mayor
Matthews said.
“Whether you’re after new
reading material or music for your
commute, online study help, children’s
educational resources or want to learn

uncover what your modern library has
to offer.”
The new app is available now.

scan book barcodes to search, view
events as well as have easy access to
eBooks, eMags, music streaming plus
much, much more.
“In what is sure to be a bonus for
families, you can link multiple accounts
allowing carers to store their own and
children’s barcodes on one device,
which can be scanned in-branch.”
Mayor Lisa Matthews said the app

libraries, providing access to those
who live, work or study on the Coast
anywhere, anytime.
