You said you would fill my suggestion for a book. Why is it taking so long?
| Unfortunately, our book distributors are experiencing delays, but they expect things should be fixed soon. If your approved suggestion isn't in the catalog yet, don't worry--we're working on getting it. | What's up with cloudLibrary and Kindle?
| CloudLibrary isn't currently compatible with Kindle Paperwhites or Oasis eReaders. That's because Amazon has an exclusive contract with Libby/OverDrive. CloudLibrary is hoping to be compatible with Kindle, but there's no word yet on when that will happen.
There is a way, however, to add the CloudLibrary app to a Kindle Fire. Here's how. | How do I get a new library card?
|
|
|
If you've lost your card, report it right away! To replace it, visit any County of SLO Public Libraries branch with your ID, and we'll make you a new card. |
