Lincoln City Libraries (LCL) today announced that the updated LibraryLNK app is now available. The app had been unavailable since December 2023 due to technical issues.

“We are delighted to bring back the LibraryLNK app for our patrons,” said Rebecca Aracena, LCL Virtual Services Coordinator. “We understand the importance of providing accessible and user-friendly tools for accessing library services, and we appreciate the patience of our community during the temporary disruption.”

Aracena said the LibraryLNK app provides users with convenient access to a vast array of resources and services, such as searching the catalog, managing account details, or accessing digital materials.

Those who retained LibraryLNK on their devices during the outage need only open the application. Those who removed it during the outage may reinstall it from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store by searching for “Lincoln City Libraries” or “LibraryLNK.”
