The most mobile library of all has arrived on the Island – BorrowBox is a user-friendly app that enables public library customers to download and borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks via digital loans.
BorrowBox is the only app of its kind in the world with an inbuilt eBook reader and eAudiobook player and means you can borrow from council libraries 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Rob Jones, library services manager for the Isle of Wight Council says:
“On your smart phone, on your iPad, on your home computer, or Kindle Fire – once you have downloaded BorrowBox, it means you can borrow eBooks and e Audiobooks at any time at your convenience.
“You’ll be able to access books around the clock, from the very best authors, including big names such as Lee Child, Ruth Rendell, Kate Morton, Ian McEwan, S.K. Tremayne and Lynda LaPlante, among others.
“The selection of local and international bestselling titles is expanding constantly and best of all, the app is free to download.”
The BorrowBox app is available now from the App Store and Google Play and you can install it on all your mobile devices for free. It is also available for the Kindle Fire.
Simply download the app from the App Store or Google Play services, select the Isle of Wight from the drop-down list of available library services and then enter your library card number and PIN.
If you don’t have a library card or don’t know your PIN, visit any of the Island’s libraries, where staff will be happy to help you or contact the library service on 01983 823824.
