Did you know that you can find books to read online through your library?

Even if you’re at home, you can still join your local library and borrow free eBooks, audio books, online comics and magazines that you can use to complete your Summer Reading Challenge!

 
Visit your local library website to find out which services are available for you to enjoy

If you’re in the UK, you can use the Libraries at home search to find your local library service and register with them.

For services in Douglas, Isle of Man, visit the Henry Bloom Noble website and the Family Library website.

 
Follow your local library service’s instructions for borrowing books online

Your library might use BorrowBox, Libby, RBdigital, or another website or app.
Look out for joining instructions on your library website.
