The mission of the Montana Shared Catalog is to connect libraries and their users through resource sharing, collaboration, and cutting-edge technology. The Montana Shared Catalog is a cooperative project involving more than 200 libraries located across the state.

With the Montana Shared Catalog App, you can access the Montana Shared Catalog from your Android or Apple phone or tablet. Once you’ve downloaded it, and you’re signed up, you can search your GFPL library collection and manage your Montana Shared Catalog account for free.

Download the App on your Apple or Android Devices for free!
