Library Connection Mobile App is Here!
 
The library's newly updated mobile app, Library Connection Mobile, is now live! It is available to download from the iOS and Android app stores. Using our mobile app, you can have a digital copy of your library card, manage your checkouts and holds, see upcoming events, and visit our various digital content offerings and databases. (Please note - you cannot use the old app anymore, you must re-download the new app from your device's app store.) Click here to learn more - https://rhctlibrary.org/mobileapp
 
The new app will ask for your password when you attempt to sign in. Unfortunately with the new system all the PIN numbers from the previous system were wiped - all passwords have to be reset. You can give us a call at 860-258-7621 and we can help you reset it, or you can go to this link and attempt to reset it yourself - https://rhctlibrary.lcicatalog.org/?openAccount=profile
