What's New in SILS

4.2

June 16, 2026

New search scanning feature. A new scan button has been placed on search which allows you to scan library barcodes, other barcodes, and text using your camera. Barcode scanning can be used to determine if an item is available in the library or to view details about an item. New mobile self checkout feature. The Barcode tab has been updated to Checkout. There is a new "Start Self Checkout" button that will allow you to use your camera to scan library barcodes. On a successful scan, the app will prompt to verify and confirm the item checkout. This will allow you to check out items easily with your device on the go. Fixed a bug with the "Ukrainian" language filter that caused it to not return search results. Added a new "Read-along Book" format filter. Removed format filter "Newspaper". Updated Saskatoon Public Library's logo. Adopted Apple's Home Scenes to better support iPads. Fixed a few visual issues.

Great App - Missing 1 thing

While the app is easy to use and has everything I need, it would be nice to see where I am in the queue for books I place on hold

Not there yet

Starting out nicely but missing some key features. One - notifications that alert you when an item is due for return/overdue or when requested items have arrived. Two - an add to Apple Wallet for the liberty card. It’s silly to have to open the app just for the card when it could easily sit in the phone’s wallet.

Great App

The app is great for searching and putting holds on books. The only thing missing is the ability to see how many people have a hold on the same book. It would be great to see how many people are ahead of you.

good

SILS is a great app to manage my library account. though, i wish i could pay fees through the app instead of in person.

Great app, for individuals.

I love that I can have my library card on my phone, access the entire SILS catalog, request holds, see how much I owe, what items I have out, when they’re due, and renew loans (when permitted by loan type).
What I wish the app allowed for is seeing linked accounts, so I could see the same information for my kids without needing to log out and log back in with their information.
