eBooks & eAudiobooks

We have a huge selection of eBooks and eAudio, which you can search directly from our catalogue.

Our eBook collection functions through two eBook portals - Wheelers and Overdrive.

To read eBooks on your device, you'll need to download either Wheeler's ePlatform app or Overdrive's Libby app. Our library staff can help you set these up.

You’ll need a library membership number and library PIN code to login. If you don’t have a PIN code, contact the library to set one up.

Once you’ve borrowed an eBook, it downloads to your device, where you can read even when offline. There are no hold or overdue fees, and the eBooks self return after a 3 week issue.

Watch the Libby getting started video to learn the basics, like how to navigate the app, borrow ebooks and audiobooks, and start reading.
