Ebooks

The Opp Public Library has recently switched eBooks providers. Instead of Baker & Taylor, we have switched to cloudLibrary by Bibliotheca. cloudLibrary is an app that can be downloaded on Androids, iPhones, and Kindles. 

This is your link to our e-book platform on a computer- https://ebook.yourcloudlibrary.com/library/OppAndalusia.

To download the app on your kindle/iphone/tablet, etc, go to your App Store or Google Play and download cloudLibrary by Bibliotheca.

To check out an eBook, all you need is an active library card. To Login, just use your library card number. You will also have access to hundreds of titles from other libraries across the state!

If you need a little more help figuring out how to use the app, just go to CloudSupport FAQ page or call us at 493-6423. You are also welcome to bring your ipad/tablet/phone up here to the library and we will be happy to help you get it set up!

Make sure to check out our eBook collection frequently! At the moment, it's rather small, but we're still building it, and new items will be added every few weeks. New releases and classics alike will be available at the push of just a few buttons.



We also offer Hoopla Digital for our patrons. Hoopla Digital has e-books, games, puzzles, tv shows, movies, audiobooks and more.

To access Hoopla, go tohttp://www.hoopladigital.com and sign up for an account using your Opp Library card.

Hoopla’s digital collection helps libraries empower, enrich, and entertain all members of their community through a variety of content and formats, including  eBooksaudiobooksmoviescomicsmusic, and more. The collection also removes a major barrier of use, which is the inability for some to use the library during regular operating hours.

Hoopla’s exclusive all-in-one digital experience also makes it much easier to promote the collection to potential users because it shows content that appeals to a variety of interests, and the hoopla Instant model provides patrons with great user experience. 

Furthermore, hoopla provides access to collection data and insights that will assist libraries in identifying usage trends and opportunities to better serve segments of their community.

Finally, the collection helps position the library at the forefront of digital information services.

Are there going to be children's books? We'll try to be patient, but so far we're just a little disappointed and we really miss the larger selection of Overdrive. Also, we only have one Kindle Fire!

Joann, as we're still building up the collection, we rely on patrons to let us know what needs aren't being met. We have a couple of youth books, but we'll look to expand our collection as we develop it.

Thanks for the input!
