User reviews
A fantastic extension that I use nearly every day. When it stopped working with my library after they changed their system, the dev responded and fixed the problem the same day. If you use it more than once, make a donation!

I find Library Extension very helpful when looking for book information. The extension is quick and accurate. When I experienced a small problem recently, the support I received was the fastest and most useful I've ever received for any agency/app.
