Borrow eBooks, eAudiobooks and magazines - Libby

Enjoy thousands of items on Libby!

Almost all of our former cloudLibrary collection is now successfully transferred to Libby. While a few items will still trickle in over the coming days, there are 17,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks for you to enjoy. 

Over the next few weeks, holds will be placed for you in Libby on any cloudLibrary items you had checked out, waiting for pick up or on hold.
