Ocean State Libraries Mobile

When the app works, it works fine. But lately I can’t even log in, which makes it functionally useless.

While searching up for materials through the catalog works just fine (but will also note that their catalog is small and could use some new materials to be added), checking for library hours was horribly inaccurate. The main website too. Went to my local library after checking THE Ocean State website, the app, and even Google Maps for good measure, to be sure that they were open, and they were not. I don’t understand how a library system doesn’t value itself. Want more patrons and more people to use the libraries? Be better. DO better. Be more accurate.

I am really enjoying the look of the new app. The thematic carousels of book covers that greet you make browsing for a potential read much easier. It really complements my use of the Libby app. This is a great improvement over the last version.
