Learning at your library
Using e-books and e-magazines
Our free e-books and e-magazines sessions can show you how to download free electronic books, magazines and audio onto your personal device wherever you are.
e-books and e-magazines sessions are available in all libraries or online.
We will show you how to:
- create a free account with the Borrowbox app
- download the apps to your device.
- search, reserve and download e-books and e-audio titles
- search and download e-magazines.
- set-up alerts for new magazine issues
You'll be able to take your reading with you wherever you are – on holiday, on the train or at home – using your smartphone, tablet device or desktop computer. You can bring your smartphone or tablet with you when you come to the library.
Sessions last 2 hours, and you can come to as many as you like.

Dates and times will be confirmed when enough people have registered for sessions to begin.
