HONOLULU — The Hawaii State Public Library System has relaunched its mobile app to provide library goers with basic virtual services.

This is as a legal dispute continues between HSPLS’s vendor, SirsiDynix, and that company’s third-party vendor, Solus, according to a news release.

“We truly appreciate the patience of our library patrons, and we look forward to continuing to improve our app access to better serve everyone,” said State Librarian Stacey A. Aldrich in the release.

Patrons can search for “Libraries Hawaii” in their respective app stores or stop by a nearby public library for assistance.

The HSPLS is relaunching its original app with app provider ChiliFresh working with HSPLS to add features such as being able to provide access to multiple library accounts.

The “Libraries Hawaii” app provides the following services:

  • Use it in place of your physical library card

  • Check account information such as items borrowed, due dates and fines

  • Browse the HSPLS catalog

  • Scan a barcode from a book, DVD or CD title to check availability in the HSPLS catalog

  • View a list of checked-out items and renew items

  • View a list of reserved items and place or cancel holds

  • See library hours

  • Renew and scan items

E-books and audiobooks can still be checked out using the Libby application.
