Our mobile app (MPPL Mobile) has been experiencing issues with our catalog search. As we work to resolve it, we have modified the app to link out to the public catalog. This will allow you to search our catalog, but you will need to log in to your account to place holds.

Unfortunately, there is also currently a county-wide issue with the public catalog running slowly and sometimes timing out on searches. WLS is actively working to resolve this issue, but in the meantime please feel free to call the Main or Valhalla Branch Libraries to request a hold if you’re having issues.
