The Cloud Library allows you to borrow and read eBooks and eAudiobooks from your local public library for free. Your library needs to subscribe to the service and you will need your library card and PIN (if required) to access the content.

This application makes it easier than ever to find eBooks or Audiobooks from your local public library. This app includes a fully functional reader allowing the user to read their ebook directly in the app, as well as bookmark and save the position of their book across devices. It also includes an Audiobook player, allowing the user to download, play and listen to their books offline.

Note: If this is the first application installed on your device with the App Runtime for Chrome, the Runtime will be installed automatically and will add to the time required to download and install all components. If the App Runtime for Chrome has been installed previously for other applications, the installation time will be reduced accordingly
