You can download or stream using the Aldiko Next App, an eReader or on your computer.

Download the App

The Aldiko Next App is available for Apple iOS 14.0 or later or Android 5.0 and up.

After downloading the app, it will walk you through the app’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.  You can skip the section on Feedbooks unless you purchase materials through there.  Next you will be asked to Add a Library.  You can select Canada > Ontario > London Public Library.  It will then ask for your Identifier (library card number) and password (PIN).  Items you have checked out will appear on the Home screen and you can search for new books under Catalogs.
