(7/1/23) CloudLibrary Users: In order to best serve patrons, the Library has decided to focus our digital efforts (and funds) on a select few digital Apps. Because CloudLibrary was one of the least-used “digital bookshelves” within our collection, we have let our subscription lapse in favor of pointing those funds towards the Libby, hoopla, and Freading libraries. Over the next year, you will see additional titles added to those collections, shorter wait times for popular titles, and the opportunity to suggest titles for purchase (in Libby). If you are not already using these apps and would like some help getting started, please reach out to our Reference/Information desk staff and/or check out the tutorial videos above for each individual app. |
