Recent reviews

The app got WORSE. Now it won't let you even know when you have holds in. It just displays that you have zero holds ready even if you've received a call/ text/email that you have items ready for pickup. Its also way slower than the previous version.... disappointing

New update gives wrong information. It has the wrong book cover pictures for titles I've checked out. It also has listed a title in my checked-out list that I have already returned. Also, I would like to see how many items I have on hold listed in the top banner of my account page. As it is, I have to click the link to see if I have any hold items. Finally, I don't see where my digital checked-out items are listed. I don't like the new app for managing my account.
