- If they are going to default to the unchecked box for "remember me", could they at least leave it checked for the mobile view please?
- Add a "Classic View" button, so users can continue to see the better view
- From the browse view, show me:
- the entire title of the book
- the entire name of the author
- when it was released
- how many copies the library owns
- how many of those are available
- how many people are on the waiting list
- which formats are available
- (All of this is what was formerly available. Now, all we see for each book is half a book cover, half a book title, and half an author's name!!)
- Also from the browse view, let me check out the book, place it on hold, or add it to my wishlist.
Example: When browsing for SciFi/Fantasy on the Brooklyn site, ordered by "added to site", the old view shows me, for the first book, these options and info:
When browsing for SciFi/Fantasy on the Brooklyn site, the new view shows me, for the first book, NO options and this info:
Are they serious?!

The old browsing view also stated if the book was part of a series (it said something like "John Doe series, book 2" - I found that very helpful. Sometimes I've already finished a series, or decided I'm not interested in a series, and I could easily just keep scrolling past those.
