The New Cloud Library is for Teens, Too!

                                   

Have you heard all the hype about the new Cloud Library at SPL?  


Did you know that the Scarborough Public Library as a new ebook lending service that allows you to download a book to multiple devices? 


Did you know that the Scarborough Public Library is the first and only library in Maine to off such advanced technology? 


Do you prefer to read a book on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod?


If you have heard about the Cloud Library, you might have thought that it was for adults only.


WRONG!  Mrs. C. has ordered some great teen titles for the ebook collection and is ordering more all the time!
You can search for books in the new Discovery Station near the adult catalogs, or go to this link on the library’s home page. http://www.scarboroughlibrary.org/eBooks/eBooks.html  


The link will lead you to lots of information about how the Cloud Library works and also to this link for the catalog. http://www.scarboroughlibrary.org/eBooks/eBooks.html


Here’s a book I love that is in the ebook Cloud Library collection for you to check out:



       Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist – books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.

Ask if you have any questions about the Could Library.  We are always happy to help!
