eBook and eAudio book upgrades
A recent upgrade has given a new look and feel to the eBook service search facility and navigation - making it much easier to use.
There's now quick catalogue access meaning you don't need to login to browse titles and there is now an option to preview a title before downloading it.
You can also create a wish list of favourite titles and access a link to Project Gutenberg which offers over 40,000 free eBooks to download.
Alongside this, over 200 new titles have been added to the eAudio book service. This service is completely free with hundreds of bestselling eAudio books to choose from. You can access the service 24 hours a day, seven days a week and it is compatible with some iPod, MP3 players, tablets (e.g iPad and Android) and personal computers.
Card Aid at Central Library
Central Library is once again hosting the Card Aid charity Christmas card shop. There is still plenty of time to buy and send your cards so why not choose the unique 2013 Card Aid collection.
Card Aid cards are unlike other high street brands, with up to 60% of the price of the cards going to charity.
