Mercer County District Library News

The library has a new mobile App!

Mercer County District Library is excited to announce the availability of their new intuitive mobile app, SEO Libraries App, Available for iOSand Android.

The SEO Libraries App makes it easy to digitally browse the library’s collection, get details on items, make a selection, checkout or place a hold for later pickup, and even renew items previously checked out.  Digital content can also be checked out too with the touch of a button. Comprehensive account management is built-in too, including the ability to place and renew holds, view their fines and fees, and for families, members can link together digital library cards to easily manage multiple accounts.

This app replaces the current app, named BookMyne. The library would like all members to know that the former app should be uninstalled from their devices and the new app is available for download.
