Check it out: The Upper Hudson Library System has moved to a new app, which includes the Albany Public Library and many other local libraries.

Features blurbage:

Access the entire library catalog:
* Search for books, movies, music and more.
* With your library card, you can:
* Place, check the status, or cancel holds.
* Check due dates.
* Renew items.
* View your account balance.
Access library digital resources:
*OverDrive
*Flipster
*Mango Languages

There's also info in the app about library locations and events.

Another feature that's fun: The app can scan a book's barcode (via the phone's camera) and check the availability of the book in the library.

The app is available for both iOS and Android. It's free.
