National Geographic Magazine Archives

We’re excited to tell you about the National Geographic Magazine Archives library database that provides access to over 100 years of this popular journal. You can enjoy thousands of breathtaking photographs and articles. The archive begins with the very first issue published in October, 1888, and runs through to 1994. The issues are presented in their entirety including all articles and advertising.

You can search for articles by keyword, by subject, by country and by time period. There is also a separate search feature for just the amazing images.

When reading an issue, there are some useful viewing options, such as zooming in, full screen view, and you can also print articles. Another cool feature is that you can create an account and then save articles for viewing next time that you login. Don’t delay, head over to the National Geographic Magazine Archives! All you need is your library card.

3M Cloud Library eBooks

We are very excited to announce the arrival of the 3M Cloud Library! The 3M Cloud Library is an eBooks-only service that offers titles we can’t get through Overdrive. It’s a supplemental service and we won’t be duplicating titles from our Overdrive collection.

To read 3M Cloud Library books you’ll need to download the app for the device that you would like to read books on. There are apps for PC, Mac, iPhone/iPad/iTouch, Android and Nook. If you have an eReader that can’t run one of those apps, then you download the book to your computer and transfer it to your device via USB.

Take a look at our 3M Cloud Library catalog and check out a book today with your library card. For more information including steps to getting set up and video tutorials visit our 3M Cloud Library InfoGuide.
