Soon Denton Public Library will be giving you access to a new platform with more eBooks and digital audiobooks than ever before. CloudLibrary will replace Overdrive/Libby on September 17th. The new platform will have new, expanded content compared to Overdrive.
Denton Public Library is continuously looking for opportunities to provide better services at a better value to our patrons. We heard your requests for more digital content and found a solution in CloudLibrary, which offers unique access to more titles and more copies. Borrowers will be able to access 125,000 additional eBooks and digital audiobooks that are available from other participating Texas libraries. More content means more reading and listening!
Access to the CloudLibrary will be available September 4th.
OverDrive/Libby will be available until September 17th. During this time, you will be able to check out materials, however holds and purchase requests in OverDrive/Libby have been suspended leading up to the transfer.
