Digital resources do more than just reduce the load in your bag or backpack; they also allow libraries to extend their collections exponentially, without the need for additional shelves or physical space. For example, as an Altadena Library cardholder, you can download more than 1 million items from cloudLibrary and hoopla to read or stream on your device from wherever you are 24/7!
cloudLibrary
Available on your favorite mobile device, this app lets you borrow ebooks and audiobooks from a huge collection.
hoopla
Now you can borrow movies, music, audiobooks, ebooks, comics and TV shows to enjoy on your computer, tablet, or phone – and even your TV! With no waiting, titles can be streamed immediately or downloaded to phones or tablets for offline enjoyment later. (Monthly limits apply).
