The Download Library is now powered by the 3M/Bibliotheca CloudLibrary platform

The Maine InfoNet Download Library has migrated to a brand new e-book and e-Audiobook platform called cloudLibrary. This replaces the Overdrive platform previously used.
To use the system, simply download the app for your device by going to: http://yourcloudlibrary.com/index.php/en-us/how-it-works or go to http://download.maineinfonet.org and follow the links to login via your library.
With this transition to the cloudLibrary the Download Library continues to offer readers over 10,000 digital titles that were already in the Download Library plus new titles and additional copies of popular titles.
The cloudLibrary platform offers patrons an App-based user experience that makes it easy to download eBooks and e-Audiobooks. The cloudLibrary App highlights the best and freshest titles in our collection, and also allows for patron customization.
Users of Kindle devices should be advised that the Kindle Fire (2nd generation or newer) works with the cloudLibrary, but e-ink Kindles do not. If you had place a hold on an item in the Overdrive system those were unable to be migrated to the new CloudLibrary System. Please re-place any holds you are still interested in using the CloudLibrary.
If you are already signed up you can go to the New Gloucseter Public Library Page at https://ebook.yourcloudlibrary.com/library/newgloucesterpl/Featured and start reading/listening today.

Canoe/Kayak Program

What if you could check out a kayak or canoe at your public library? Wouldn't that be great! Well hold on to your hats, because now you can.

The New Gloucester Parks and Recreation Department has two canoes and kayaks available for sign-out for use on the Royal River Reservoir at the New Gloucester Fairgrounds. The New Gloucester Public Library has teamed up with Parks and Rec to give people an easy way to take advantage of this program. Just visit the library during our open hours, fill out a form and sign out what you need. We will give you a key to unlock the equipment. Return the key when you are done. It's that simple. For more details visit the Parks and Rec site at http://sports.bluesombrero.com/Default.aspx?tabid=683520. You must be 18 or older to sign out the equipment. Enjoy and have a great time.

THis program will end on October 26, 2016 for the winter season, but look for it again next spring!
