  • A central bookshelf for all loans and holds
  • Customizable notifications for ready holds, new magazine issues, and more
  • Compatibility with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sonos speakers
  • Easy access to support staff
  • A variety of language options like Spanish, Chinese, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, and more!
