BCPL Now Offering Biblioboard Library

Bruce County Public Library (BCPL) is proud to announce a new online selection of services for writers and readers that are now available through BiblioBoard Library. This suite of resources encourages local writers and readers to create, share, and discover unique digital content.

The BiblioBoard Library mobile and web platform provides access to local eBook collections, a historical database, and unique local content and collections. Patrons in Bruce County can access BiblioBoard Library on their preferred browser, tablet, or mobile device with no login or library card number required. All content on BiblioBoard Library is also available with no holds, waits, or checkouts, making it perfect for classroom use, book clubs, and community reads. We are launching Biblioboard Creator in connection with Culture Days and invite patrons to submit their favourite recipes as we create our first curated collection.

The Indie Author Project invites local authors and writers to share their eBooks with participating libraries throughout Ontario in the Indie collection on BiblioBoard Library, with the potential for inclusion in the royalty-paying Indie Author Project Select collections available at libraries across the U.S. and Canada. Also available for indie authors is Pressbooks Public, a self-publishing tool, which allows patrons to create professional-quality print-ready and eBook files with ease. Pressbooks is available to all BCPL patrons with unlimited access and requires no previous design or tech knowledge.

“We are excited to offer this new platform to our community. With Biblioboard, we are helping local authors and patrons discover and create content in a new way that helps foster connection. We are proud to be a part of this step forward in digital library services,” said Library Director Brooke McLean.
