| Greetings!
Greetings from the Milwaukee County Federated Library System !
You can now access CountyCat on your iPhone or iPod Touch with a new app from the Milwaukee County Federated Library System.  With this app, you can: - Search the catalog
- Place requests (holds) for items.
- Check hours and locations of the public libraries in Milwaukee County.
The app is available FREE from the iTunes Store or the App Store (via the device itself). Use the search term "CountyCat." We would like to send a special thank you to Jessica Celella for all her hard work on this project. The app was developed by Jessica as part of a fieldwork project for her MATC classwork.
A version for use on other mobile devices will be available this fall.
Thank you for your continued support of libraries and the Milwaukee County Federated Library System.
Sincerely,
Jim Gingery
Director
Milwaukee County Federated Library System
