Did you recently get a new device, or have you had one that you haven't had time to set up?
One of the most fun parts of getting a new device is learning about all the things you can do with it. Whether that's a new phone, tablet, or other device, you're likely able to get digital content from ICPL on it.
There are a variety of apps you could use and it's hard to know where to start. So here's a quick guide to digital content you can access with your device and your library card.
New phone or tablet? Try these apps:
- MyICPL for managing your library account
- Libby for ebooks and audiobooks
- RBdigital for digital magazines
- Kanopy for movies
- Mango Languages for learning a new language
For TV or streaming devices, look for the Kanopy app on these devices:
- Roku
- AndroidTV
- AppleTV
- FireTV
Didn't get any new devices but still have access to the internet? All of the above digital content can be accessed through your internet browser as well. Try out access to:
- Listen to albums from local musicians through the Local Music Project
- Watch recorded library events through The Library Channel
- Read consumer information from Consumer Reports
- Read news articles from The New York Times
- and many other online resources
Stuck on getting something set up or need some help getting started? Call us or stop by Drop In Tech Help and we can help.
So put that new (or old) device to work and get access to our digital library!
Note: Some of our digital content - like ebooks, digital magazines, and digital movies - is limited to our service area which includes Iowa City, Hills, University Heights, Lone Tree, and rural Johnson County. Check the Digital Library page for more information.
