Rodman Library on Your Phone
You can take the library with you wherever you go through the use of Library Anywhere, a mobile application that lets you use the library on your smart phone or other web-capable device. Keep track of your due dates easily with this application, search Rodman Library's catalog, place holds, renew items, and more. Users can also find library hours and locations, including bookmobile stops, send questions to library staff members, and find information about events happening at the library. You can now have access to all of this right from your phone.
Library Anywhere has a special application for iPhones (iPads,etc.) and Androids, and a universal version for Blackberry and all other web-enabled devices. Simply search for Library Anywhere in the app store (or equivalent) on your phone and download the application for free. Those not using iPhones or Android phones can find the app by visiting https://www.libanywhere.com/m/286.
Rodman Public Library is joining the SEO (Serving Every Ohioan) Library Consortium. Making this move will provide our library users with access to items from 97 library systems in 49 counties across Ohio. This also means that the system that we use to check out your library materials, and that you use to search for items in our catalog, will also change.
