New e-book service from Shropshire Libraries

Shropshire Libraries and company Bibliotheca are delighted to announce the launch of a new Cloud Library e-book lending system for library users.

The Cloud Library can be accessed online or through many popular devices, including iOS and Android, via the new easy-to-use app.

Stuart West, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for leisure and culture, said:

“e-Books are a great way for our customers to connect to the library either in their homes, at the library via Wi-Fi or on the go. It is just another example of how libraries and technology are bridging the digital divide creating 21st century libraries. We have had an e-book service for some time and it has been very popular. We are now working at making it even more flexible for readers, with even more choice.”

Chris Millican, Bibliotheca UK’s Commercial Manager, commented:

“The Cloud Library has been the premier method for e-Book lending in the US and Canada for the past four years, with the recent enhancement to provide audiobooks as well. It’s now time for UK libraries to experience the best in class library e-lending solution available.”
