Skip if you’re outside America

I love the idea of this but not worth the download if you’re in Australia. The app could barely find my location and I couldn’t find any listed at all, despite having 3 in my town. So many bugs in the app.

A Must For LFL Lovers 💓

I originally discovered the app through FB, and it’s so much more convenient for finding little libraries wherever I go. It’s become a little game of mine to earn the badges and light up the map with all my check ins :)

Nice App

I love the features of this app like how you can manage your library as well as the map feature. I have used the map while on vacation in another state and had fun finding all of the libraries around the area. There were a few times when I was unable to check into a library while I was there, but it did work later on. Maybe I had bad reception. Fun app overall!

LFL

I love this app. I love the fact that we can see where to find the LFL in our neighborhood and check in through the app.

Amazing but sometimes slow technical

The only reason why it’s not five stars is because they need to probably update their technical runnings or partnership because the maps and jumping between pages could be very slow but the amazing people boxes resources mission is the most beautiful thing, and I have been life change and found a new spark of Hope and sharing community and being a part of the silent, but the books in the little findings are the community and way we connect!
