Biblioteket meddelar: Biblio byter app Från och med 6 november byter e-boksappen Biblio från den rosa till en ny brun app. Den nya appen måste du ladda ner från App store eller Google play. Även på webben byter vi sida för e-böcker och den nya e-boksidan hittar du på biblio.app. Nytt för dig som läser på läsplatta är att du inte längre kan ladda ner böcker, utan du läser dem direkt i appen. Läs klart dina böcker i den gamla appen Du kan läsa klart de böcker du redan har lånat i den gamla appen men du kommer inte längre kunna göra några nya lån i den. Nya böcker lånar du istället i den nya appen. Från och med 7 december kommer den gamla appen att tas bort helt. Det här gäller även för e-boksidan på webben.
