STEP TWO: Visit CloudLibrary to Start Reading

Then, go to CloudLibrary and select United States, then Maine, and then your library. If using a Maine State Library Card, you will use Augusta: Maine State Library.
By default, all titles in the collection will show up initially. You may want to apply filters to select format and availability. Some examples of applying filters illustrated below.
If a book is available click borrow, then read, and you're good to go. Happy reading!
If a book is unavailable you can place a hold on any title which is not currently available. You will receive an email when it becomes available. (And it usually doesn't take as long as they say it will!)
