Ratings and reviews

Love the app I can search for next reads and manage my borrowing on my mobile it is very handy, especially if you forget your library card you can access it on the app when at the library ❤️

The only reason anyone uses this is to access their account, so why no automatic login? Otherwise, a solid app.

This app has far too many privacy concerns to risk using it. Consistent location monitoring, phone calls, camera access and more. The majority of access requested is unnecessary for a library app. One is better off using the OPL website to manage one's account and Overdrive for ebooks and audio books on mobile devices.
