Don’t worry – our online library is still open today

admin

Today’s public holiday means that our libraries are closed and there are no children’s programmes running. However you can still access our virtual library – thousands of books, magazines, audiobooks, newspapers, and games and puzzles are all waiting to be discovered.

Check out Overdrive and Bolinda for eBooks and Audiobooks that you can download to your device.

LanguageNut is a fun learning game that you can access through our website for free.

Zinio has free downloadable magazines that you can keep – sports, music, crafts, movies, pets and animals, and more. Can you find the horrible histories magazine? Search for newspapers from all around the world using Press Display. It’s fun to see the news reported in a different language and from a different country’s perspective.

Hey, did you know that there are children’s books in our digital audiobook collection? You can download books to your PC or compatible MP3/WMA player (check with your parent if you’re not sure about this – the home page tells you more about this stuff) and then you can listen while sitting in the sun or the car…

 

The collection includes things like The Waterhorse by Dick King-Smith, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Volume 1, Prince Caspian by C S Lewis, My Sister Jodie by Jacqueline Wilson, Dragonsdale by Salamander Drake and much more. Here’s the complete list.

 

The best thing about the digital audiobooks is that there are no overdues: the books automatically return themselves after two weeks, so you don’t have to worry about them. Excellent!
