As of June 1, 2017, Carrollton Public Library partnered with a group of other Texas libraries to loan eBooks and eAudiobooks to each other's library cardholders. This kind of lending group is called CloudLink.
There are almost 300.000 copies of eBooks and eAudiobooks available in our CloudLink lending group and around 40-45% of titles borrowed by Carrollton customers are provided through this lending group.
Titles owned by partner libraries, but not in use by the owning library's cardholders, are visible in the CloudLibrary™ app and available to borrow by cardholders of ANY libraries in the lending group.
When a cardholder from the owning library borrows a title, then that title is no longer visible in the app to customers from other libraries in the lending group.
This partnership gives you, our eBook readers, access to many thousands of titles that we did not buy. A wider selection means more of you will find something you like.
If you did not find an eBook or eAudiobook in the catalog, try searching for it in the CloudLibrary™ app, including the cloudLibrary™ web app. You may find it appears thanks to one of our library partners.
