Beginning in January 2020 the Canton Public Library will purchase?e-audiobooks on cloudLibrary instead of OverDrive. Older e-audiobooks will remain on OverDrive, but cloudLibrary is now the place for new e-audiobooks.

This move to cloudLibrary allows us to join the Michigan cloudLink group--which means you will have access to available e-book and e-audiobooks from cloudLink libraries across the state, and you will have more choices to listen to and read.

Download the cloudLibrary app today!

  • Relax and Rejuvenate: Winter can be stressful on your mind and body.?This kit is here to bring some relaxation and rejuvenation into your week. Use?the light therapy lamp to chase away the blues on a sunless day. If you are a light sleeper, try the?white noise machine!
