Did you know that the library has iPads you can borrow for free? With these iPads we have a variety of apps already installed so you can access the library’s many eresources, such as audiobook/ebook apps – Libby and BorrowBox, and film streaming apps Kanopy and Beamafilm. You can also use the iPads for any other general use, like checking your socials, art projects or taking photos! It is also a great way to try out having an iPad before you make the big commitment of buying one.
