Primary functions
- Search the library catalog and discover titles, authors, or subjects.
- Store and present a digital version of your library card for quick checkouts.
- Place, modify, or cancel holds on items you want to borrow.

Account management and events
Use the app to keep your account up to date: renew loans, monitor due dates, and receive notifications about holds or overdue items. Event sign-ups are handled in-app, making it simple to register for children's programs, author visits, and other community events without a trip to the library.
Why it helps
ArapApp streamlines common library tasks so users spend less time on logistics and more time reading and participating in programs. Its user-friendly layout is designed for quick searches, easy holds management, and on-the-go access to important library information.
