Derby Libraries have put together a scheme which allows members to download e-books and audiobooks for free via the BorrowBox app (https://www.borrowbox.com/). This app can be downloaded on numerous mobile and tablet devices and it gives access to thousands of popular books for students to read.
We encourage all of our students to sign up for this scheme as it will give access to a huge wealth of resources to support their reading and curricular studies.
If you are a member of your local library then you should be able to sign in straight away. However, if you are not a member then you will need to sign up following the steps below.
Signing up if you are under 13 years old
Children under 13 need signed consent from the child’s parent/carer to allow the child’s data to be held and shared on the Library Management System. However, under current circumstances this is not possible so Derby Libraries are offering temporary membership to enable access eBooks and eAudiobooks during lockdown but this requires parent/carer permission by email.
Please email [email protected] if you agree to your child obtaining this temporary membership and provide the following information:
- Child’s name
- Child’s date of birth
- Home library
Signing up if you are over 13 years old
You can register online for temporary membership to access eBooks and eAudiobooks during lockdown. Please go to https://www.inderby.org.uk/libraries/how-to-join/join-the-library/ to get signed up.
The libraries re-open temporary card numbers will expire and membership forms can be updated at their nominated libraries if you wish to continue your membership.
