Library Offers Virtual Card Access



The smartest card in Tompkins County Public Library cardholders wallets just got a little smarter.  Access to virtual library cards is now available on smartphones.

Easy-to-use apps like CardStar and Key Ring now make it possible for patrons to scan their library card barcodes into their phones.  During check-out, patrons can present their phones to a Circulation and Access Services staff member for scanning.  This service is free and convenient and offers a time saving option for parents and families who can now store and label personal cards and children’s cards on their phones rather than searching through wallets and purses for physical cards.

For instructions on how to download an app, visit the Circulation Services Department or http://tcpl.org/services/circulation-library-card-virtual.php.
