How the eBook and eAudiobook service works

You can borrow up to 10 eBooks and eAudiobooks at a time for free, they can be borrowed for up to 21 days and can be returned early. The items will automatically expire at the end of the loan period, so no need to worry about overdue charges.

You can reserve up to 3 titles at a time for free.

This service is not available on Amazon Kindle eReaders, except the Kindle Fire tablet.

The text in eBooks can be enlarged on most devices so all titles can be read in large print

How the eMagazine service works

You can checkout as many eMagazines as you wish for free, they can be borrowed for up to 7 days and will automatically expire at the end of this loan period.
