Thanks, everyone, for this very productive discussion. I especially like
Kathy's recommendations. Providing a more mobile-accessible interface
for My Account to allow for easier renewing would also be nice. As Kathy
mentioned, larger font sizes would help immensely and probably some
slightly different layout.
Personally, I'm trying to avoid the need for some sort of app. I know
that Boopsie has designed iOS and Android apps for systems running
Evergreen, But I think it's a lot more accessible, and less hassle, for
our patrons if we don't require them to go out and download a separate
app to access something that can be made accessible without one.
Thanks for all of your great work on this!
Cheers!

Thanks for the concrete suggestions. Almost all of this can be achieved
via CSS, possibly with some changes to the underlying HTML (e.g. tables
to divs or whatever so that "Place Hold" appears under the bib info
instead of way over to the right). I don't see anything that suggests a
need for two distinct versions of HTML in your wish list.
Geolocation functionality could be supported for desktop browsers too,
but be careful in how you implement it. If you go to branch1.example.com
in your browser and get redirected to automatically searching branch2
instead of branch1, that's probably going to break user expectations.
