Councillor Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for Customer Services, Sport and Leisure, said: “This online service is brilliant for people who read books and magazines on a daily basis. Not only is it free, but you can access it at a time to suit you. All you have to do is download your book or magazine, which you can read as much or as little as you like.

“You will be spoilt for choice with the huge array of books and magazines on offer. If you feel like you need some guidance in using this online service, pop along to one of our workshops. Our library staff will be on-hand to offer advice and show you how to navigate through the service.”
