What is a QR Code?

A QR code is a two dimensional barcode such as the image below.  QR stands for quick response.

If you have a Smartphone, or an iPod Touch with a camera, install a free QR code reader app.  Use the QR code reader to take a picture of the QR code.  

The QR code reader app will decipher the code to take you to a website, take you to a video, or provide you with contact information right on your phone, or mobile device.

The QR code above takes you to the LSC-North Harris Library's YouTube Channel.
