App features include:
•a homepage featuring three titles from the database, refreshed each day
•the ability to search for books by author, title, award/list year, genre, by award, and by booklist
•a Find It! button, powered by the OCLC WorldCat Search API, that will show users where to find the book in a nearby library
•a Favorites button, to create an individualized booklist

An Android version of the app is planned for later in 2012.

The app is funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. The app was developed by Ora Interactive.
