Nevada County launched its new Community Library mobile app on Monday as part of a continued outreach effort throughout the pandemic.
Penn Valley Library Branch Manager Cindy Pawlowski said the app found by searching “Nevada County Library” in the app store was designed to improve people’s accessibility to the libraries’ educational and entertainment resources during and between government shutdowns.
“We determined that it would help make things more accessible, but it’s also something we can use beyond that,” Pawlowski said. “Most people nowadays are using their phones more than their laptop.”
Pawlowski said County Librarian Nick Wilczek recognized the need for mobile support, then researched and connected with a private company to create the app.
