This app is impressive- I love how when I bring up my card to check out, it brightens the screen. It loads much more quickly now-much quicker than finding my card in a wallet or bringing up the website to view checkouts. It used to be buggy, but it is no longer. I do wish paying fines would be more streamlined- you still are redirected to the website for that- but I am impressed by the updates since, say, a few years ago. holds, checkouts, and integration with the summer reading program are 5 stars.
Great App

The app is so useful for placing holds and checking if your hold is ready to pick up
So handy!

I agree with previous reviewers that the digital book checkout process is cumbersome. But other than that, this app makes it SUPER easy to search for a book (or other media) and place a hold. I've been using the library a lot more since I downloaded the app. The digital library card is also very convenient; I don't have to carry my physical card anymore.
Great ...when it works

I love the ability to check my account, take care of fines. I really love the access it gives to an online library of children's books and other media publications and audio books. But, this app often freezes, and then you can do nothing. Also, the way you access digital books and other assets is via links to other aps, like Overdrive, and frankly on my phone, it is really hard to navigate. It's not as easy as kindle Unlimited, for example, to search and download titles. I hope the bugs get worked out because this is a great mobile tool to enjoy being a local library card holder!
-Our account menus for managing checkouts, holds, etc. have a new and improved look!
-Bug fixes and performance enhancements
