Use your phone (or our scanning station) to learn more about our books
We are beginning to add QR codes to the backs of some of our books. Why? Because with a QR reader app on your iPhone, Droid, or iPad, you can see a video telling you what the book is about.
Bring any library book with the code to the scanning station at the front desk. Scan the code under the camera, and enjoy watching your 60 second video telling you about the book. Do you want to do the scanning on your own phone? If you have the right kind of phone or iPad and want the app, then...

So what exactly is a QR code?
It's a barcode that you can scan with your phone or iPad, and it will take you to a specific webpage. If you have a QR reader app, scan the sample QR code above to give it a try!
