Livingstone Shire Council has launched the Livingstone Shire Library App which seamlessly integrates all current library services into one convenient location for users.

The app demonstrates Livingstone Libraries commitment to creating a virtual library that allows patrons to access all of the library’s resources easily on their device no matter where they reside.

Livingstone Libraries members can search the library app, anywhere anytime, for books, movies, music, and games more easily from their iOS or Android device.

Councillor Rhodes Watson, Portfolio Holder of Vibrant Community (Tourism, Arts Culture) said that library services are invaluable to the community and the introduction of this app is evidence of how we keep evolving and adapting to enhance our customers’ experience.

“I’d encourage everyone to download the new Livingstone Shire Library app and experience for themselves all the helpful features that have been included,” said Cr Watson.

“Those who don’t own a smartphone or have trouble using technology will still be able to access all of the traditional library services, however, our friendly Library staff are more than happy to provide assistance in downloading and using the app too.

“The possibilities of the app are endless and the Library staff are all very excited about the implementation and the positive impacts that it will have on the services they currently provide to members of the library.”

App features:

  • Use your smartphone as your library card
  • Locate and reserve items
  • Manage your reservations and renew items
  • Borrow library items using your own device (Yeppoon and Emu Park branches)
  • Access eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, music and films
  • Link your family members' library cards
  • See the latest events, adult programs and children's activities
  • Scan any book's barcode to see if we hold a copy
