About this app

If your library uses Atriuum as its software, you can download Librista - the companion app for patrons. With Librista, you can search the library’s online catalog and view your items out, renew and reserve items, create book lists, and more.

To begin, use the Library Locator to find your Atriuum library. To log on, enter the same credentials you normally use to access your library’s account. Based on your library’s policies, you may be able to register for a new account.

Librista features:
- View trending and newly added items.
- Access eBooks if your library partners with other providers.
- Place holds on books, DVDs, etc.
- Watch subjects, authors, or series to be notified if your library acquires new items.
- Save items and categorize them in book lists, such as Favorites, To Be Read, etc.
- Find out about local groups/events posted by your library.
- View account information, including items out, fines, etc.
- Set preferences for when you receive alerts (based on your library’s notification policies).
- Scan ISBNs to see if your library has a specific book before you purchase it.
- Switch between different catalogs if you sometimes visit other libraries in your area.

Ratings and reviews

It worked for almost a year. Now the app continually crashes every time I search for a book. I can't search anything without being kicked out of the app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times with no change. It's probably a four star product when it works. It wasn't anything super fancy but it worked. I could create bookbags for each kiddo and plan books for summer reading. I could see what was available at my library and reserve books I wanted. But now, it is useless.
