# The patron 41 of 52 supported Source: https://plasapi.com/features/patron/ Everything that belongs to the patron's own relationship with the library — from logging in to paying a fee. The calls are in the Provider API; for single sign-on and events they also go the other way, through the Vendor API the service implements itself. ## What you can build - **Log in the way the library does** — With a password, without one, or through single sign-on. The library system's configuration tells the client which applies. - **Loans and reservations in one place** — See loans and renew them, reserve material, choose where to pick it up and follow the queue. - **The patron's own lists and history** — Lists the patron keeps, and a loan history the patron decides over through consent. - **Check in and out** — Check material out and in at a self-service machine or the staff desk, and let patrons pay outstanding fees. ## Features in this area ### [2.1 App configuration](https://plasapi.com/features/patron/app-configuration/) - 2.1.3 Select branch — Supported.
