Borrowing books digitally from your public library isn’t necessarily new, as we previously noted how the Toronto Public Library was using Adobe’s OverDrive software, just one of many locations using the system.
An alternative is coming, as 3M’s Cloud Library is starting to be piloted by 10 Canadian locations part of the company’s advisory council, along with five other early adopter locations.
The following list are 10 libraries part of the company’s advisory board set to implement Cloud Library, supplied to iPhoneinCanada.ca by Jeanne Parsons, the Marketing Communications supervisor for 3M Library Systems and 3M Cloud Library:
Brampton Public
Burnaby Public
Fraser Regional
Greater Victoria Public (live)
Norther Vancouver City
Regina Public
Saskatoon Public
TRAC Consortium
Chartham-Kent Public
Calgary Public
Here are five locations that are early adopters of 3M Cloud Library:
Whitchurch-Stouffville Public
Vaughan Public
Norfolk County Public
Pickering Public
King Township Public
“Users will truly enjoy how simple and convenient it is to borrow books from the library through services like this,” said Anne Parker, GVPL’s digital collections co-ordinator.
