Bathurst Library has joined 11 other libraries from central and western NSW to offer members a wider range of books online by adding BorrowBox to the existing eLibrary. By collaborating, the library has thousands of titles in the collection, so everyone should find something to suit their tastes.
It only takes a few simple steps to choose an item to read or hear any time, day or night. Through this new product, the library has added a range of popular Australian authors and narrators who will delight and entertain adults and children.
The titles can be found by clicking on the library’s website and choosing an eBook or eAudiobook. For more information, visit www.bathurst.nsw.gov.au/community/library.
The library is closed for refurbishments and will reopen on Monday, January 29. Alternative pop-up library services will be available throughout the closure period.
A pop-up library at the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum will operate until January 28 during museum opening hours. A second pop-up library, Library Van on Keppel, will operate Mondays, Tuesday and Fridays until January 23.
