More of a heads up for those that don't know. You are able to borrow free ebooks from your library online. You must be a member of the library, but its easy to join. Then you just log in with your library card number and pin. You need to download an app called OverDrive from the Google play store, and from within the app you can access your borrowed books. My library allows me to have 5 books at a time and I can keep them for up to 21 days. Hope it helps some of you ereaders )

2 local places for me (schools) I can borrow primary school books from one and science books from the other one. Nothing from the huge main library in Grimsby

will have a look. Using the search on overdrive doesn't show Grimsby library, only 2 schools
That Grimsby you linked to is Canada.

I assumed all libraries would have this feature available. My local has over 2,700 ebooks and im in quite a small town compared to Grimsby
Thanks for this. I had forgotten about the free e-books and audio books. I joined Essex County Libraries to get the free e-magazines using Zinio Libraries app. Will try the apps for the E-books / audio books as well. Just need to find my library membership number. Although I popped in to join my local library to get access I think it is all managed via your county library website.

Thanks for the reminder. I had given up on mine getting this, but after checking they now have it.
