3M CloudLibrary Express Review


I’m sure you remember that I was super excited when my library got the 3M Cloudlibrary service.  I’m decidedly less excited now.  I’m not sure what is going on but the catalogue is pretty much the same or worse.  There’s a total of 2 fantasy books.  The Romance section has around 40 books, most of which I’m either not interested in or I've already read.  One of the little add-ons that could really help out the service is a wishlist...if there were some books that I wanted to read.  I’m a bit disappointed, especially since I was living in the US and my library there subscribes to a service called Freading.  It has a wishlist and I put an item that said it was coming soon to the catalogue, which is great!  What I really like about Freading is that it has a good mix of older books, including bundles, and new books.

I'm really hoping that my library here in Canada wakes up and does something with the 3M CloudLibrary or it is going to be useless!
