Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Schools using Reading Cloud can now ensure the library and its resources are accessible anywhere, anytime and available to your whole school community. The app is a fantastic way to encourage parental engagement with reading. Display the latest news from the library and showcase information such as the ‘Top Ten’, ‘New Arrivals’ ‘Latest Returns’ and ‘Book of the Week’. If you have the Overdrive licence, students can issue, reserve and read eBooks and audiobooks from within the application. Using the ‘Your Top Picks’ feature, the app will automatically recommend new books based on your past loans. Students can write reviews about books, websites and other resources and books can also be reserved using the app. Search the library catalogue using the search feature to find books and websites to help with homework or general research or for the latest book by your favourite author. Parents can track borrowing patterns for children with access to current and past loans information. The Community Stats feature allows you to check on the most popular books and authors across the Reading Cloud community. Using the ‘ISBN Search’ feature you can also check whether your school library has a copy of a book before buying it online or in a book store. Currently only available if your school library uses Reading Cloud. If you’re not sure, why not check with your school librarian. Login using your school name, and the user name/password provided by your school library team. Update: Reading Cloud replaces the legacy "iMLS Student" app

Reading Cloud APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Reading Cloud APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 3122bd28fd39a099e464116d3003208e.
