HPL App
HPL’s App is a mighty tool that just got mightier. Now you can use it to check out your library materials.
It can also tell you what’s ready for pickup, what’s new in the collections, what’s due, and what's overdue. You can also check your borrowing history, see what’s on your shelves and find our branch locations.
