e-Books and e-Resources

The William Grundt Memorial Library provides a number of online databases for members of all ages and interests - whether children or adults, fiction or nonfiction, learners or avid readers. Here are a couple of examples for you to try.

BorrowBox

What’s BorrowBox? Your library in one app! BorrowBox enables users to borrow, download and enjoy eBooks and eAudiobooks from their local library. You can also access eMagazines and eNewspapers on the BorrowBox app. Library members can access their favourite titles wherever they go with the BorrowBox mobile app.

Come in and get your library membership, or update your existing membership to give you free access to these resources and more. The BorrowBox User Guide will help you in getting and installing the BorrowBox app. For more information on BorrowBox, please contact the library.

Libby

Libby is a great way to start reading ebooks and audiobooks from your Library. Install the Libby app on your phone or tablet (it also works on most eReaders – but NOT Kindle).

With hundreds of popular fiction and non-fiction titles to choose from, this new collection is guaranteed to have something for everyone. You can enjoy best-selling novels, well-known classics, self-improvement guides, and much more all on your own time, wherever you may be. No matter how you plan to enjoy, titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period. There are no late fees!
