Borrowbooks

Cloud Library e-books are moving to BorrowBox

Borrowing e-books is set to become easier with all our e-books available from the same service.

From Friday 2nd March our e-books from Cloud Library will be transferred to BorrowBox and customers will no longer be able to access Cloud Library.

You can finish reading a Cloud Library e-book downloaded to a device to the end of the expiry date, but you will not be able to continue reading an e-book if you are reading the e-book in your browser. You will also need to place new holds to request titles with BorrowBox – apologies for the inconvenience this may cause.

The great news is that it will be easier to find what you are looking for as you will need just the one app and you will find all our library e-books in one location.

If you are not already registered with BorrowBox, the BorrowBox app is available from the App Store or Amazon Store and can be installed on all your smartphones and tablets for free. Sign in using your library card number and PIN, and away you go!

Please note: to register with the BorrowBox app customers with E+ cards beginning  633, please omit 633 and enter the remaining digits.
