Georgina Public Library app is no longer available.
We have learned that we will be without a Georgina Public Library app until 2024. We understand and apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. A message from the company that provides our app is found at the bottom of this page. We recommend that people delete the current Georgina Public Library app from their devices as the information it shares is no longer accurate. Please note that it is the Georgina Public Library app that is affected and not the apps for services such as Libby (Overdrive), Hoopla, or other eResources.

What is happening with the app? |
| The app's ability to connect to our main catalogue servers is broken. This means that some features may still appear to work, when in fact they are showing old, outdated information. For example you may see books that you have returned showing up as checked out, or holds showing as 'ready for pickup' when you've checked them out already. |
|
Can I still use the library app on my mobile device? |
| No. We recommend that you delete the app. The app will not search the catalogue for books, or show you your checkouts and holds. It may show you hours and locations but since the app cannot connect to our servers, those hours may be wrong. |
|
Is there another app I can use instead? What are my options? |
|
Not at this time but you CAN still search the library catalogue and access your account on your device. Scan the QR code below to open our library catalogue on your mobile device.
Or you can put a shortcut to the mobile version of the Library catalogue website on to your device. We have included steps showing how to do this on your device |

Add a shortcut to the mobile version of the Library catalogue site to the Home screen on your device. Doing this will give you the ability to search the Library's catalogue, access your account, and place holds on items. Our Library catalogue is designed to work on mobile, and includes most of the features you're accustomed to using in the Library app. |

A statement from SirsiDynix regarding Georgina Public Library's mobile app |
|
SirsiDynix is the owner of Georgina Public Library's mobile application. However, another vendor controls the access of the app. Unfortunately, they have unexpectedly disabled the app, rendering it inoperable. We have also been aggressively developing an entirely new, next-generation mobile app for your library. While it is not yet available for general use, we anticipate it will be ready in the next few months. This app will deliver the functionality you enjoyed in the original app, along with many new features. We regret any inconvenience this has caused you. Please know that your library had absolutely no way of anticipating this situation, and we hope you’ll be understanding as we work through this difficult, interim period. Bill Davison |
