eBooks: Cloud Library

Installation Steps

1. On your tablet or smartphone, visit Google Play or the App Store and download Cloud Library by 3M. Cloud Library doesn't work with Kindle Paperwhites or the Kindle Apps--Use Libby instead.
2. Once installed, complete the steps above, choosing Illinois Heartland Library System as your library if Lake Land College isn't available.
3. Enter your Lake Land College Library card number when prompted, along with your password. Call the checkout desk at 217-234-5367 if you need either.
Lending Policies: You can have five items borrowed at once. Maximum checkout is 21 days. You may return items early.  Five items may be placed on hold at one time. Items cannot be renewed, but, as long as no one has placed a hold on the item, you can borrow the item immediately after returning it. 
Suggesting Items: Within the app, you may view titles that have not been purchased by member libraries. You can do this by selecting Suggestions for Library in the filter menu. Click on the Suggest button next to each item and those titles will automatically be considered for future purchasing.
