- cloudLibrary
We are excited to introduce cloudLibrary – the new feature-packed app that makes it easier than ever to borrow, organize, and return your library items. Check out eBooks, eAudiobooks, comic books, and more straight from your computer, phone, or tablet. Use the link above to find the download links so you can start reading or listening today!- Virtual library card: never leave your card at home again. Your virtual library card in the cloudLibrary app can do everything your physical card can do – except take up space in your wallet. And the best part? You can load the whole family’s cards into cloudLibrary and easily switch between accounts.
- Interactive receipts: say goodbye to lost receipts and cluttered inboxes. cloudLibrary provides you with a digital receipt right within the app. The receipt allows you to view recently borrowed items, favorite items (great for recommending a read to a friend), check due dates, and even get return reminders.
- My Book Bag: pack it all up – almost effortlessly. Great for families who check out (and need to return) multiple items at once, My Book Bag is a handy checklist of borrowed materials. Pack it up, check it off, and finally get ALL of your materials returned in one trip.
- Customize your cloudLibrary: reading is fun – so is this app. Create your own avatar, choose a theme, and curate notifications, so you get the information you want just the way you want it. * (Library Card required)
