How to log into Borrowbox

eBooks and eAudiobooks are available for up to 21 days, and will automatically expire at the end of the loan period unless you return them first. You can also renew items if they are not requested by other customers.

If the item is out on loan you can reserve it and be notified when it becomes available. 

If you want to check what is immediately available and not on loan, you can do this on the app and website

If you are using another library service you can also use the same Borrowbox app for more than one library service.

We also offer a wide selection of eMagazines through Libby, and eNewspapers through PressReader and Newsbank.
