Apps and links for eBooks and eAudiobooks  

Each of our eBook collections have Apps to make borrowing to your device quick and easy. 

LOTE is a database of digital books in World Languages created for children, so they can enjoy books and learn language through storytelling. The platform provides over 1600+ digital books in 50+ languages, together with English translations. New books and languages are released each month.

Overdrive's Libby app allows you to download ebooks directly onto your phone or tablet. For Wheelers use ePlatform App. Ulverscroft Digital requires the ULibrary App.
