Next, create batch file that copies the backed-up INI file for the library you want to use to the right place and then starts that Cloud Library app. My batch file looks like this:
Code:
@ECHO OFF
SET CloudUser=%1
IF "%CloudUser" == "" SET CloudUser=BPL
COPY "%APPDATA%\3MCloudLibrary\PC\DigitalLibrary - %CloudUser%.ini" "%APPDATA%\3MCloudLibrary\PC\DigitalLibrary.ini"
START /PGM "C:\Program Files (x86)\3M(TM) Cloud Library PC App\3MCloudLibrary.exe"

My NORMAL style of getting books from libraries is to open one window for authors, a window for Overdrive, and one window each for the five library systems I use... I can jump to the author to see what's new, then go into overdrive and see if it's available anywhere near me, then jump to the individual library to put it on hold or download it...
Use the Overdrive Link add-on for Calibre to front all this. Then, you can have it check for what's available and how long a wait at each library.
