My local library was among the first to install the app, and I think it's great. You can use the compass icon in the upper left to use google earth to see active libraries beyond 500 km. I used this cool app earlier today to find several books and put them on hold. I also renewed a few overdue books ... Very cool. As to the previous sour grapes reviewer: this space is for reviewing the app, not airing your grievances with the company. Get a life!

This is wonderful! What a neat way to check out all the Libraries in your city....You can handle your account, see all books you are intrested in and then call and reserve a book from your home, and see a map of where all the Libraries are located.. I love this, used it the minute I downloaded it.
