iPhone Application
You can access the iTunes App store and download the DCPL iPhone application here.
Mobile access to library information makes things easier for some library patrons. The iPhone is an amazing and popular device so we’ve built an application that lets people search for DCPL library items on our catalog CityCat.
This is just the beginning of our efforts to meet the needs of mobile users of the DCPL and we already have some features in mind for future version of this application.
