I work in a library and I find the tool to be invaluable. We train new hires on its uses, it is such a nice shortcut for us to check quickly if it is at our library or somewhere nearby. And to check Hoopla too! 5 out of 5 stars

Thanks Andrew. This excellent extension has saved me hundreds of dollars.

I have been using the Library Extension for quite a while and really love it. However, recently the extension doesn't show up in Goodreads. I've been trying to figure out what happened - reloaded the extension, updated Chrome etc. I only see it on Amazon. Therefore the 4 stars.

INCREDIBLE. LIFE-CHANGING. No more manually catalog searching every single book I want to read.

The extension tells me the book is available at my library but when I go to my library it is not available, not even in their catalog. So, in my brief experience, it has proven to be useless.

I love this extension, it saves money by letting me know I can pick up a book at the library - something in the past I did not check since I didn't want to use the old library search tools (They upgraded since then and it is easier to use) but this tool is still the best

I have probably saved thousands of dollars using this extension, but far too often on Chrome it just decides to stop working. For some reason it can't pull the library settings data, so doesn't appear on Amazon. I have to delete and reinstall it at least monthly. Fix that and I'll come back for a 5 star rating.

Fantastic extension! This is what the internet is all about-easy to use and SO helpful! Thank you for making it!

I love this extension. I need to learn how to create extensions like this - though I doubt anything I create will be as helpful as this one has been for me!

Very useful getting from Goodreads to digital libraries.

A Godsend for a heavy reader like me, with multiple library cards! A big Thank You to the developers and staff!! Thanks for adding Hoopla, too. I just noticed the Beta ability to filter by type (in Chrome's extensions tab under extension options). That should be interesting to try out. It would be helpful if you'd add the comics format. And put the filter somewhere more obvious when it's out of Beta.

What a great time saver! I absolutely love it!

I love being able to check my library's catalog without leaving the site (usually Goodreads!) and even putting a book on hold right from the extension. GENIUS! Thank you for creating such a useful tool.

Amazing! all of my library cards searched immediately! no need to log into multiple libraries and services to check which branch has what. the archive link is probably my favorite feature. some times for scholarly sources, that is the only library that has the reference i was looking for.

One of my favorite extensions! Makes things super easy and has saved me countless dollars that I would have spent on books.

This extension is GENIUS! SO helpful for library users. The dev is super responsive. Couldn't recommend this more highly.

GET THIS BOOK IF YOU USE YOUR LIBRARY'S EBOOK SYSTEMS!!! This extension makes it so easy to access free books!!!!! It works really well. I'd love to see it have an option for the books available on spotify premium if possible.

This extension is indispensable if you have access to multiple libraries. I'm fortunate to have a few libraries to access and can tell in seconds which ones have the book I want, what format they carry it in and how long the wait list is. During one update I briefly lost access to the extension and realized how valuable it is to me.

My most used extension by far. I still use Audible on occasion, but this extension is usually my first look. I love the efficiency .

As a collection development librarian, I use this app every single day to quickly check if we have something in our catalog or if a book I'm looking at on Amazon is one we need to purchase for our collection. It's highly accurate and a total time-saver for me!

Best app to see where your next read is available for my library or subscription services. Takes you directly to borrow/check out/buy the book. Saves so much time searching all my apps to find where to read the book from.

This is a convenient and valuable extension! I can't buy all the books I desire--my house would be filled. Libraries serve such an important service.

Always a helpful team behind the scenes willing to help resolve any errors as time goes on. Super helpful way to save money

Anonymous 2025-04-02

Between this Library Extension and the Libby app I am saving so much money by not having to buy books. Don't get me wrong, I love books but not all of them a home on my bookshelf. My local library recently updated their catalog. I emailed support and within 1 day the extension was update with the new information. Talk about service! A+ / 5 stars!

Love that I'm able to see what books are available at my library regardless of what website I'm browsing on!

Love this extension! Helpful and saves money!

Marilyn Dash 2025-03-20

FIVE YEARS of using this app and i still love it! Just what I needed! It works - just as advertised. When I am looking at a book I'm interested in reading, it pops up and tells me... Don't buy that.. it's available at your local library! That helps when you are living on a budget but love to read. I just chatted with their Support team and had a library I belong to added without delay. It took maybe 10 minutes! What incredible support they provide. Thank you!

As a book lover, one of my favorite money saving hacks. I recommend it to everyone! And I have a great local library, so if they don't have the book I'm interested in, oftentimes they will just order it.

Six years on and I'm still using this extension every day. I love that I can customize it to display the physical collection for my local library, and the digital only collections for the libraries I'm a member of outside of my usual errands.

I had been using this extension on Chrome happily for years. Then my local library adopted a new catalog system & the extension began erroring out. I emailed support & the developer, Andrew, updated the library configuration & got back to me within hours. You can't ask for better than that. Thanks, Andrew!

Love this extension for helping me support our public libraries!

I love the Library Extension! It shows me where to look for the audiobooks I am interested in, often better and easier than the Libby app. And if I've ever had a problem, the developers are right on it.

I use this regularly. It is super helpful with knowing if my library has books.

Excellent extension! I love being able to see which of my libraries has a book available when I'm on Goodreads, Amazon, or other book sites. It helps me cut down on impulse purchases.

Looking foreward to checking out the old library!

Extremely useful extension and very great support from developer.

Anonymous 2025-02-21

Such a great extension. My only gripe is why is it not open source? Their privacy policy makes it look like they aren't making anything from your data, so I find it odd. Especially since that would make it easier to create a port usable on iOS devices, which their FAQ makes clear they can't support

Anonymous 2025-02-17

Incredibly helpful. Easy to use, and unobtrusive until you find yourself considering buying a book... at which point, there it is, subtly reminding you that you don't have to! One of the best extensions I've ever used.

This app has saved me quite a bit of time and money, making it a breeze to figure out if any of our nearby libraries or Hoopla have a specific book we want/need, but don't necessarily want to keep.
