The Texas State Library and Archives Commission has transferred its collection of downloadable ebooks and audiobooks to CloudLibrary, making another pool of titles available to APL cardholders.

Cardholders who already use Cloud Library through the Harrington Library Consortium will need to add Amarillo Public Library to their Cloud Library account and toggle between the two.

If you're just getting started with Cloud Library, download the app from the Apple or Google Play store and then follow these prompts to list your card number and PIN with both the APL and HLC collections!

Here’s how to access both collections!
