Changes are Coming to Our e-Library!
RB Digital is in the process of merging with OverDrive. With access to OverDrive products ending soon, you’ll want to create a cloudLibrary account to continue reading and listening to bestsellers and new releases in eBook and eAudiobook format. OverDrive platforms currently in our e-Library include OverDrive/Libby and RB Digital.
e-Library Update: Access to OverDrive Ending. Head to cloudLibrary to Keep Reading.
Effective August 22, BCFL will no longer offer access to OverDrive (Libby). Most OverDrive titles will migrate to cloudLibrary. The decision to cancel Overdrive/Libby was not made lightly. OverDrive/Libby and cloudLibrary offer comparable collections, but the annual platform fee for cloudLibrary is significantly less. Our goal is to offer the largest collection possible at the […]

The library can best protect our citizens by making sure we all […]

It’s Summer Quest Time!
Summer Quest, BCFL’s favorite time of the year, will return on Saturday, June 20, bringing with it six weeks of fun. This year, because of COVID-19, Summer Quest will be different.
