About this app

Use the app to search for and reserve items in your library’s collection. With a book in hand you can scan the ISBN barcode and check whether your library has a copy. You can reserve materials and renew your loans. Besides that, the app supplies information on addresses and opening hours of all branches and you can phone or email them directly. Please note this app does not support all libraries. Check the website of your local library to see if the app supports it, if not, ask if it can be added.

Ratings and reviews

A good alternative to my library’s website. The app has a much cleaner interface. The only thing I miss is filters when browsing the collection, but honestly, the website’s filters aren’t great either—so the app isn’t really falling behind. Edit: My library is Bibliotheek Den Haag

It was working great at first on both my cellphone and tablet now it won't let me log into my library account on either device. One of which is a 2024 device so can't say it's because it's outdated. My library is the Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, Lambton County Library. I am able to access my account on their website directly but not on this app. Their developer doesn't even respond in the same language you post your review in which is also unhelpful.

System error forever! This app used to be great to search for books, reserve, see when I needed to return items, etc. But something changed and now I can't sign into my account. No matter what I do it just says 'System error' over and over. So disappointing 😞
