Lately, we have been hearing from the community that Westmont wants more ebooks. You asked and we delivered.
I am happy to inform you that the Westmont Public Library now has its very own Cloud Library from 3M packed with hundreds of ebooks available for you to check out at your convenience.
My favorite thing about the Cloud Library is how easy it is to use. You just download 3M Cloud Library app, sign in with your library card, find a book you want to borrow, and start reading. It really is that easy. As a bonus, the app includes other useful features like the ability to build reading lists, save your favorite categories, and rate books.
My second favorite thing about the Cloud Library is that it offers content you cannot get from other library ebook services. You might be a fan of our other ebook platform, Overdrive’s Media on Demand. I am a fan too, since it offers thousands of ebooks and eudiobooks for immediate download. But, there are certain titles like J. K. Rowling’s new book, The Silkworm, that are not available on Overdrive. The good news is that The Silkworm and all of Rowling’s post-Harry Potter books are available via the Cloud Library along with books by many other popular authors.
We add new content to the Cloud Library every week so if you don’t see your favorite author, book, or series, let us know and we’ll try to get it for you. We happily take suggestions and purchase requests. We are excited to be offering the 3M Cloud Library to you, and we want to make sure your experience is a positive one.
If you have any questions, give us a call or stop by the library. Reference librarians are ready and eager to help. You can even book a librarian for up to an hour for one-on-one instruction on the Cloud Library or any of our other digital services.
In addition to the tens of thousands of ebooks you can borrow from the 3M Cloud Library and Overdrive’s Media on Demand, your library card gives you access to hundreds of streaming movies, more than 5,000 audiobooks, and more than 130 downloadable magazines. It is all available at westmontlibrary.org/digitalbranch. Happy downloading!
