New HPL app for Apple & Android

Great news!  The Hutchinson Public Library has an app available for iPad / iPod / iPhone and for Android devices that allows you to access our catalog, access your library account, and generally do everything you can from a traditional computer.  You can search the library's holdings, place holds, renew books, read reviews, and much more using a very clean, easy-on-the-eyes tool.

To get started, go to the Apple App Store or to your Android store of choice (like Google Play) and search for:

OWL iLibrary

Download the app and once it is installed, open it.  The first time you open the app you choose your library (search by name, map, etc.)  Choose "Hutchinson Public Library".

Enter your library card number - the whole thing.

Enter your PIN.  Unless you have manually changed it, your PIN is the last 4 digits of the telephone number we have in our records.

Once this is done, the app will remember your settings and you won't have to do it again.  Then you can search away!


Here are some screenshots of the app on an iPhone:
