cloudLibrary Downloads
Download free eBooks and eAudiobooks at cloudLibrary by bibliotheca. Your Library Card ID is the number on your library card. Your Password/PIN is either something you set when you first logged in, or the phone number you provided when you signed up for a library card. It seems that a bunch of different formats work for your phone number, but if you're having trouble, try this format: "207-929-1234".
Another method is to visit https://hollis.biblionix.com/catalog/, log in there in the top right with these same credentials, and then click the bibliotheca cloudLibrary link under the orange Electronic Resources section. If you see the message "Sorry, access to electronic resources is suspended until issues are resolved. Please see My Account for details.", then you must ask the Hollis Center Public Library director to renew or unblock your library card before cloudLibrary will work for you.
