Fast and easy to check out library books, and if you have cards from multiple libraries it will check them all when you search. I appreciate the hold deferral option; no more having them all ready at the same time!! Notifications do seem to be broken right now. They used to work perfectly, but now the app tells me I don't have them on no matter how many times I try to set them, and even though the permissions are allowed in my phone settings.

This app is a great resource! I had eyebsurgery and wanted to try audio books- I've listened to 8 in a month! All you need is a library card and you get access to free ebooks and audio books. The functionality is great too- holds on books that you can delay, a two lane system for waiting lists, speed controls for audio, tags, basically all you would need.

I really love this app for years but your new update is driving me crazy. why did you make it that you had to have service to open and play your books? I understand that whoever's programming probably doesn't leave the city, but I work in the field which means I don't have service most of the time. so having the ability to download them and then when I get back into town return and download a new one is a feature I liked. it's completely useless but I can't even open The app let alone a book
What's new
Bug fixes, performance optimizations, accessibility improvements, and preparation for our next round of features. Thanks for supporting your local libraries!
