How to use Reading Cloud

Use the search box on the home page to find authors or titles, or use the Reading Lists on the tool bar.

Books will show as ‘Library’ and ‘Overdrive e-book’ if there is a digital version available.

Click on the e-book version. You can use the ‘Open sample’ button to look at the book or ‘Open e-book’ to download it.

Books will download on to computers, tablets and phones. Books are on loan for 14 days and then will automatically be returned.

Manage your loans through ‘Account’ on the tool bar. Loan limits have been increased to six books so you can still borrow e-books even if you have four books out already.

Any problems or questions, email Ms Mead (j.mead@harrisdulwichboys.org.uk)
