Ratings and reviews

It keeps logging me out and needs my library card number to get back in. I'm using the app so I don't have to carry that card, so will probably be deleting it. Frustrating. Edit: I started saving my library card number so I can re-enter when it logs me out. But it doesn't matter - now it just says "server error." Basically I can no longer access my library account from my phone. This app is now completely useless to me.

It's pretty good after it loads... But it's missing the best feature from the website: Browse. The app works great to manage your shelved items and see what you're borrowing, but I'd really love to a notification when an item on hold is ready for pickup.

I wanted to share my positive feedback about the St. Paul Public Library app. It makes managing my library visits more convenient, straightforward, and less stressful. The other library I used previously didn’t have a dedicated app, and I always wondered why not. I truly appreciate having this app; it’s a significant improvement!

What’s new

Links that previously opened in an external browser now open directly inside the app, allowing for more seamless in‑app browsing.
