Ruapehu library members now have a new digital lending service to enjoy, with BorrowBox joining Libby and Beamafilm as part of the library’s expanded online offerings.
With all three platforms, library members have 24/7 access to thousands of e-books, audiobooks, e-magazines, newspapers, films, documentaries and TV series.
Head Librarian, Fiona Thomas said the launch of Borrowbox was a fantastic addition to our online services creating the most comprehensive digital library experience Ruapehu has ever offered.
“Demand for digital content continues to grow as people look for convenient and flexible ways to enjoy library content anywhere at any time,” she said.
“BorrowBox is a fantastic addition to our online collection. Together with Libby and Beamafilm, we now offer round-the-clock access to an incredible range of stories, information, entertainment and learning. Whether you’re travelling, relaxing at home, or reading before bed, the library is always open.”
BorrowBox brings a significant new catalogue of e-books and audiobooks, including bestselling New Zealand and international authors. The app also gives users access to leading newspapers including the NZ Herald and Whanganui Chronicle, along with a variety of national and international titles.
Ms Thomas says families will especially appreciate the extensive children’s collection – ideal for bedtime stories, quiet reading time, or listening on long car trips over the summer holidays.
“Having multiple digital platforms also means shorter wait times, more choice, and a more personalised experience for readers of all ages,” she said.
Getting started is easy. Library members simply download the BorrowBox, Libby or Beamafilm app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, then visit their local library to be set up with a PIN.
