CloudLibrary by Bibliotheca
From the end of May, we will be focusing our resources on one platform for eBooks and eAudiobooks. We hope that having all our titles in one place will make borrowing much simpler for our users and help us to reduce some of the waiting lists on popular titles. Borrowbox will be our only platform which means there will be no access to CloudLibrary from June 2024. To access Borrowbox and view the wide range of eBooks and eAudiobooks we have please see the information noted above.
We would like to take this opportunity to ask your opinion on how we buy eBooks. Borrowing an eBook or eAudiobook works in the same way as going into one of our libraries and borrowing a book from the shelf. While you have the book on loan no-one else can borrow it. This is why we have long waiting lists on some of the most popular titles when they’re first released. To shorten these waiting lists, we could buy extra copies of popular titles, or alternatively would you prefer to have access to a wider range of titles or genres?
Please email your preference and any further comments or suggestions to libraries@eastlothian.gov.uk
