| 2024-06-28 |  | | en | This extension is great and saves me time trying to find books available at my library. Further functionality I would like to see added would be consolidating books with multiple editions into one "Title" and scanning other lists on my Goodreads account. Currently if a book as multiple editions, every single edition is shown so if I have a list of 75 books Library Scan will show me a list of over 500 editions of those 75 books. Being able to have multiple "Tabs" for each list within Goodreads would be great as well because I sort my "To Read" list into multiple lists. All that aside this extension fits the basic function it was designed for and saves me time. Highly recommend. |

| 2022-10-01 |  | | Does exactly what it says. It finds books in your "Want To Read" list in Goodreads in your local library and allows you to check them out. If on top of that you use Libby or Kindle, you can check out the electronic version if is available. I'm saving quite a bit of money with this extension. | |

| 2022-09-24 |  | | The best thing since sliced bread! I love using this extension and don't understand why I never heard of it before. This handy tool will read your goodreads wishlist and search your e-library for 200 books in under 60 seconds. I love how handy this is! I just wish I could change which order it chose it's 200 books in because it just does the most recently added and I am someone with a "want to read" list of 500 books. | |

| 2021-09-29 |  | | Fantastic extension. Saved me frustrating hours of copy/pasting books into my Overdrive to figure out which books my library has or doesn't have. Much easier to just press a single button! | |
