eBooks and eAudiobooks
While many might agree that nothing beats the feel of a physical book, eReading and eListening offer a lot of flexibility, by allowing you to read wherever and however you like - whether it be while you're travelling or commuting, working in the garden, or going for a walk.
You don’t even need a special eReading device. Simply download the Libby and BorrowBox apps on your tablet, iPad, or mobile phone, connect using your library card number and pin, and you'll have more than 100,000 titles at your fingertips!
