One-click eBooks @ your library
3M Cloud Library borrowing is easy and quick

While downloadable books have been available since 2006, the 3M Cloud Library service now makes it much easier for you to search and check out, or place a hold on a title seamlessly through the library's online catalog.

The 3M Cloud Library includes the latest bestsellers for kids, teens and adults, as well as a good selection of nonfiction. When you check out a title through the library's online catalog, then open an app on a reader, tablet, computer or smart phone, your book is available for reading.

Search Available 3M eBooks

The integration of eBooks and the library system is due to a partnership between 3M and Polaris Library Systems, the library software vendor for GMILCS, Inc. consortium (that includes your own Goffstown Public Library). Our libraries are responding to the needs of the community by increasing access to eBooks, purchasing more titles, and decreasing the waiting time for popular titles.

The GMILCS, Inc. consortium serves the libraries of Amherst, Bedford, Derry, Goffstown, Hooksett, Manchester, Merrimack, Milford, Salem, Windham, New England College and the New Hampshire Institute of Art.
