Frequently Asked Questions 

Will wish lists and reservations transfer over, including audio book loans? 

Reservations and audio books will transfer over.

If wish lists were created in the old app and were only visible in the app, they would not transfer over but if they were created in the account online, they will transfer over though they are not currently visible in the new app.

To go through to the catalogue in the new app, put something into the search box (Discover) and then click on the account/profile icon, there you will see the lists.
