The answers can be at your fingertips if you have the Sarasota County Libraries mobile app. Yes, that’s right, we have an app for that! You can download the app for free from the App Store, Google Play or Amazon. Just search “Sarasota County Libraries.”
With the mobile app you can access your account on the go, browse the library catalog, place items on hold, and renew items all from your smartphone or tablet.
