Lisbel Rosario (ID: 000000d67943aa85) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/28/2024 I love it this extension. It works in the background so I don't have to open another tab to see if they book I am searching for is available at my library. It automatically tells me if they have it available at my library and not only that, it lists the e-books and audiobooks available as well. You set it up once and reap the benefits forever. Add it to your Chrome NOW!

Katja Amyx (ID: 000000ece60e8927) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/17/2024 Update 2024: After 6 years, I still love Library Extension just as much. Anyone who reads and has a local library should use it. I love this extension. Now when I'm browsing Amazon or Goodreads, I can see instantly if my library has the book and one click get's me to the right book on my library's web site. Using Chrome for Mac.

txcharley (ID: 0000002946fc954c) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/15/2024 WHEN IT WORKS it is GREAT. However, it unlinks itself frequently and I don't notice until it FINALLY gives me a notice that I need to "set up" my "new account"!! UPDATE Aug 15, 2024. STILL having problems!! Now it won't even search my local library, some "unhandled error" keeps it from the catalog?

Kelli Martin (ID: 0000003283c941cb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/13/2024 I love this extension. I use multiple sources for books and this keeps me from having to take a look at each one. Love it so much! Could not read without it. BUT! It does randomly restart itself with each update and I have to put my libraries back in again.

Robert Chaisson (ID: 000000992b9eae31) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/09/2024 This is the greatest extension! Lets me shop Amazon and the library at the same time. Often better than the library search. Time saver and saves purchasing some books.
