FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Book borrowers using the Fresno County Public Library system are being advised to delete the current ValleyCat app from their devices as it is no longer working, library officials say, and there are no plans to fix it.

Fresno County Public Library describes ValleyCat as an app that lets users search, request, renew, and return library materials.

The San Joaquin Valley Library System alerted patrons on its social media stating that due to a disagreement between its primary library software provider and a third-party contractor, who they say provided components for the ValleyCat mobile app, the software is now offline.

As a result, it says the developer is working to create its own app.

In the meantime, library services are still available at www.fresnolibrary.org.

Until the new app is ready to be launched patrons can find the URL to their version of ValleyCat here:
