Sticking with Libby. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-12-06, version 2022.2.2* The app has always been a little difficult to navigate but I got by fine. Now it won’t connect to the network or work at all. It’s really frustrating when I have holds. I also only check out with the self checkout so I don’t have a receipt to track when my books are due. I relied on this app to remember and now that it doesn’t work I’m just going to have to return everything early without finishing because I don’t want it to be late. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-12-04, version 2022.2.2* The app no longer works, when searching the catalog it says it can’t connect to server. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-12-04, version 2022.2.2* The app has been working fine until a week ago. Still shows returned books, but not my recent borrowings. ### 1/5 — No connection to catalog *2023-12-04, version 2022.2.2* I haven’t been able to access my account in several weeks. Every time I try to search for a book, or check my holds, I get an error saying that the app can’t connect to the catalog server. I can’t even log out to try and refresh the app. I have also deleted and reinstalled the app with the same issue appearing. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-12-02, version 2022.2.2* I used this weekly for years and now it stopped working completely. Not pleased. ### 1/5 — Can’t Access the APP *2023-11-30, version 2022.2.2* Installed and reinstalled many times to only receive the same message on a black screen: “Unable to connect to server. Please make sure you have a network connection and then try again.” My home and phone internet connection are stable and working fine. It’s the app that isn’t working. ## Frequently asked questions about SJVLS Library Catalog ### What can I do with this app?
