The CPL app is great! Renew your books, place holds, browse the catalog, check branch hours, and flag books as being 'for later' or make your own reading lists. A must-have for any Chicago bibliophile.

Loving it! Chicago public library app. Can log in view due dates of borrowed items, as well as renew items. Can search for books, and resources.

Mobile site works better I got confused trying to renew books because the app was laggy and not graceful about not being able to renew one of the books. The website was much clearer about what was going on. Nice idea, needs better execution.

I installed this app, but all it would do was show a loading screen. The CPL website is much better.

What is the app switcher button? It would be most helpful if you could include information on what the app switcher button is on an Android phone. At least until the bug is fixed. After doing a Google search, I finally determined it is the Home Touch button on the lower right on my LG G3. Hope this helps someone else.
