Selecting your library will take you directly to your library overdrive section, sign in w/your library card as usual. The transfer of a book to the t1 is fast. My DD & I found it very user friendly.

The next time you use the Public Library Icon, you will see a link to your library listed

very slick.

Sounds good! Can you add additional libraries easily, i.e. ones you might have a card for that are not in your zip code?

The button always leads to a search page with a history of what you've already visited. My history has the two library systems I have cards for, making it a couple taps to get to either one. Could be improved slightly (save the system, instead of the library itself). It works quite well though.

Another option is to save the mobile login web-page of your library as a bookmark (or even your homepage) in the browser. Then go to your library through the browser rather than through the home-screen button.

Yeah, that only really works when you have one library. For those with cards with multiple systems, Sony's default library page actually works well.

What do you mean Kolenka? I have cards for three library systems and saved the home page for each as a favorite. I find it too time consuming to have to navigate to each library system from the main library page. Even when it's saved as a recent search. It's much quicker when saved as a favorite.

When you're in the browser touching the heart brings up your favorites list so you can quickly move from one library system to another.

I saw "or even your homepage" and focused on that. Sorry, my brain is a bit mush from staring at code the last couple days.
