Who Is This App For?
This application is built for students, readers, families, and library patrons Hawaii Library Pickup helps Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) patrons turn a reading list into the fewest library visits that still cover the most available books.

How it works

Add titles or ISBNs, paste a list, or import a text file.
Pick libraries on each island map (Oahu starts selected; other islands start empty).
The app looks up live HSPLS catalog availability and builds a fewest-visit plan. Stop 1 is the library that covers the most remaining titles. The driving path then shortens travel between those stops.
What you get

A clear score: how many visits, how many books covered
A numbered pickup plan plus a driving route you can open in Google Maps
Optional home address (Hawaii only) as the route start
A per-library view so you can inspect one branch
Titles that are not on the selected shelves called out separately
Optional filter that keeps only copies that look available (not checked out, lost, or in transit)
Privacy Recent titles stay on your device. The app does not create an account, does not collect library-card numbers, and does not send your list to a developer server. Catalog lookups go directly to the official HSPLS catalog over HTTPS. An optional Settings switch can notify the developer of an unrecognized library name only.
