The app seems to be struggling to load despite all my other apps and webpages loading perfectly

Confused. Don't understand the point of this app. Can't log in. Says to contact your local library about that. I did and the library assistant didn't know what I was talking about. Her exact words were "I'm not familiar with that, is Librista one of those electronic reading apps?" Told her I didn't think so. Looks like you can see the inventory of what your library has and reserve items etc. Reply to librista: I did use those credentials and I can't log in.
