eBooks and eAudiobooks

CUSTOMER NOTICE - DIGITAL LIBRARY SERVICE CHANGES
Libraries NI’s digital library service will no longer be available through the Borrow Box app after 31 January 2026 at 11:59pm.

From 1 February 2026, Libraries NI’s digital library will be available through the Libby app only, bringing eBooks, eAudiobooks, eNewspapers and eMagazines together in one place.
What this means for you:

• If you use Libby, nothing changes — you can continue reading and listening as normal
• If you use BorrowBox, current loans or reservations may end when the app closes

If you have items borrowed through BorrowBox, you may wish to finish them before 31 January.
Getting started

Watch our short online video, which shows how to download Libby and start reading or listening. If you’d rather speak to someone in person, staff in your local library can help when you visit.

1000s of eBooks and eAudiobooks available to download for free

We have now added BorrowBox to give you even more choice!

Customers can borrow up to 36 eBooks and eAudiobooks at a time (18 from the Libby app and 18 from the BorrowBox app) for twenty one days with each book automatically dropping off your account at the end of the loan period.

To make the most of the wide selection of titles available through our eBook and eAudiobook service, make sure you download both apps to your preferred electronic device.
