CHPL Customer Insights

1. What happened to the option of placing holds? The new layout is not as user friendly as it used to be.can no longer place holds from within the app! very disappointing.Has all the functionality I go to the Chapel Hill library website for (renewing books).

2. The near constant "loading"animation is annoying and the time to display my borrowed items is a bit long but not to the point where it's unusable.

3. Has a cool feature where it can display your barcode for scanning checking out books at the library.
