App Highlight: HPL Mobile

Disclaimer: Houston based app

Yep, HPL... as in, Houston Public Library. If your anything like me, the last time we where in a library was in college and the last time you actually borrowed a book would be in your high school years.


I recently stumbled across this app when I saw a HPL booth. They are currently going thought a change in their system and are updating all of their library cards, and I believe they are being sponsored by HEB.
When I was younger, I would usually go to the library for audio books, cds and dvd. But now you don't have to leave your house to borrow audio books. Similar to other audio book apps in the market, the HPL app allows you to borrow digital copies of books and audio books right to your little devices, for free!

I absolutely love listing to audio books, it is definitely a lot better (for me) than finding time to read.
I am currently listening to Janet Evanovich & Dorien Kelly : Love in a Nutshell. It was just a random choice, but I usually listen to the audio book while working out, usually running or on my car rides to and from work. The best part is, since you are paying attention to the story line, you forget that you have been running for 30 mins. or sitting in traffic.
