It is so great to have a library app so that everything for the Roanoke Valley system is in one place. It’s a one-stop-shop!

### 4/5 — Interesting design choices but it works!

*2023-12-04*

There's some questionable UX choices but everything seems to work!

Please update with the ability to add library cards to Apple Wallet. Bonus points if you would auto display a notification with my library card in said wallet when I'm at a library.
