How it works

Your library card gives you free access to the Libby app, which allows you to download eBooks and audiobooks to your phone or tablet. You can also read the same titles in your browser (such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox) from the Overdrive website, and plug your eReader into your PC to transfer eBooks across to an eReader, such as a Kobo or Nook.

You can borrow a maximum of 10 eBook and audiobook titles on the Libby app for up to 3 weeks.
