eBooks and eAudiobooks are moving to Libby
Libby (by OverDrive) is now our eBook and eAudiobook provider! Access to cloudLibrary has ended.
From January 23-30, we're moving the eBooks and eAudiobooks that were in cloudLibrary over to Libby. The following week, any outstanding holds from cloudLibrary will be added to Libby. This process will take some time, and we appreciate your patience.
There will be some titles, including new releases, available in Libby while we transition, and you can always borrow something from Hoopla or Cantook Station!
Do you have questions about Libby? Take a look at our FAQ, register for a monthly webinar or join one of our in-person workshops hosted by KFPL staff.
