Love this app. Makes it so easy to see what's available at the library when I'm going through my lists!

This extension was a great idea, and so far has worked flawlessly. Ideas like this are what gives me hope in the internet. Hopefully this could be expanded to include some of the surrounding MD and VA counties.
