From eBooks to eAudiobooks, foreign language lessons, music, films and eMagazines – there’s more than 150,000 free Brisbane City Council library resources in more than 60 languages available to access remotely. It’s super simple to get downloading – all you need is your membership number and an email address and you’ll be able to access everything through the Council’s online library catalogue (eLibCat). If you don’t have a library card, all you have to do is sign up online for a temporary digital library membership, which will give you access to all of the e-collections and resources until June 30 – yippee!
For the more vulnerable members of the community, Brisbane City Council is offering a free home library service to bring a selection of books, magazines, audiobooks, DVDs and CDs to registered home-service customers. Plus, if you still have any borrowed books, it has extended due dates for all returns to June 30 as well – giving you more time for a re-read! If you’re planning to return your borrowed books in the meantime, just drop them in the after-hours return chute outside your local library. Happy reading, folks!
