Hi Teens,
We are going to cancel the TAG meeting scheduled for 11/5. We aren't sure about power in the library, in the schools or at your homes. We will catch up soon! Hope you are all doing well.

App features include:

  • a homepage featuring three titles from the database, refreshed each day
  • the ability to search for books by author, title, award/list year, genre, by award, and by booklist
  • a Find It! button, powered by the OCLC WorldCat Search API, that will show users where to find the book in a nearby library
  • a Favorites button, to create an individualized booklist

An Android version of the app is planned for later in 2012.
