CloudLibrary

Library access in one place

CloudLibrary is a mobile companion for people whose library uses the service. It brings library-card access, borrowing activity, holds, receipts and reminders into a single app. The exact options depend on the participating library, so it is most useful for regular library users who want to manage print and digital lending from their phone.

Borrowing and account tools

The app can be used to check out eligible physical items at the library, view due dates and receive notifications when a held item is ready. Multiple library cards and accounts can be managed from the same device. A visible card, activity history and upcoming library events make it practical for keeping track of everyday library use.

eBooks and audiobooks where offered

Libraries with the relevant subscription can provide eBooks and audiobooks through CloudLibrary. Available tools include browsing by format, language and availability, saving favorites, reviewing holds and history, and finding related titles by author or series. Reading controls cover font size, margins and background color, while bookmarks, notes and in-book phrase search support longer reading sessions.

What the listing tells you

CloudLibrary is published by OCLC and sits in the Books & Reference category. Its 4.66 rating from 51,944 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs indicate broad use, particularly among library members whose local service supports the app. Features are not universal: digital lending, event information, mobile checkout and account options can vary by library.
