St. Thomas Public Library is excited to offer a brand new way to download eBooks and eAudiobooks to your smartphone, tablet, or eReader!
You’ve been able to borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks through Overdrive and the Libby App for several years already, but now there is a second place to look for those books you can’t wait to read or listen to – cloudLibrary!
CloudLibrary works a lot like Overdrive – you can find popular eBooks and eAudiobooks by visiting the cloudLibrary website, or by downloading the App for iOS, or the App for Android .
Once you are on the cloudLibrary website, or have downloaded the App, you can browse our collection of eBooks and eAudiobooks, place holds, and borrow items!
All you need is a library card!
How do our two eBook and eAudiobook services compare?
| cloudLibrary | Overdrive & Libby App |
| Borrow items for 3 weeks | Borrow items for 2 weeks |
| Place holds on up to 25 items at a time | Place holds on up to 10 items at a time |
| Check out 10 items at a time | Check out 10 items at a time |
Here’s a testimonial from one of our staff members who has started using cloudLibrary:
“This is a new app that allows us to provide popular titles, many without holds. You heard me, very few holds! The platform is really similar to Libby with many features. You can tag books to read later, browse by category, and check out curated lists. You can also tag books that haven’t even been published yet! That’s right, cloudLibrary knows what you will be wanting to read in the new year!”
