Although we enjoy seeing the many faces that come through the library, there is so much you can do digitally with your library membership. 

If you feel like staying home over the holidays but need your library fix, here are six reasons to access your library digitally over summer. 

1. Our eMagazine collection just got a whole lot bigger

We have expanded our eMagazine collection in Overdrive which means there are over 3,000 titles to browse through. Download the Libby app from the App Store or Google Play Store to get started. 

2. You don't have to wait in a hold queue

Both Overdrive and BorrowBox have a collection of eBooks and eAudiobooks that you can borrow instantly. 

3. Because we have indyreads now

Indyreads provides access to a statewide collection of independent Australian and international titles, classic literature, poetry and more. Download the indyreads app from the App Store or Google Play Store to get started

4. To travel back in time

Discover the past and present stories of the Northern Beaches through History Hub, your online portal to our Local Studies collection. Library members can also access Find My Past and Ancestry Library from home, for free. Head here for further instructions. 

5. To keep the kids busy in the car

To stop the inevitable question of "Are we there yet?", keep the kids occupied by listening to an eAudiobook. Here are the titles that are available now through BorrowBox. 

6. Two words - Free movies

From kids films to classic cinema, Kanopy has something for everyone. We recommend checking out the Feel-Good Movie collection. 

You can access our digital library platforms through your library app. Just scroll through the menu to find the eLibrary and History Hub menus.
