My Cloud Library

Individuals may access the service on most devices through the free Cloud Library apps available for Apple iOS or for android or Fire. Cloud Library provides links to the various apps at the bottom of its home page (www.mycloudlibrary.com). Users may also go directly to the Apple Apps Store (https://www.apple.com/app-store/) or to Google Play (https://play.google.com/store. /apps) to download the apps from there, if they wish.

Once patrons have installed the appropriate app on their device, they use the drop-down menus to select the United States, Maine and the Pembroke library. Readers log-in using the number on the back of their Pembroke library cards--the WHOLE thing. Then checking out and downloading books requires only a few clicks.

The holdings at Cloud Library skew toward older volumes, especially for fiction; current best-sellers are often not yet available. But books in categories such as romance, fantasy, science fiction, literature children's literature, non-fiction, etc. are plentiful and easy to access. Audio books especially often have wait lists, so try to remember to reserve something ahead of time that you might wish to listen to. And remember to return your books when you have finished with them!

Readers may also use any browser to call up the Cloud Library Web site: www.yourcloudlibrary.com and access books from there, but to download from the Web site, you must have Adobe Digital Editions installed on your computer. Please note that Cloud Library permits only one account per patron, even if you are a patron at several different libraries.
