Do you miss those days when you could lie in bed and somebody would read you a story, while you gradually slipped into sleep and pleasant dreams?
Well, now you can revisit those gentle times with cloudLibrary, BorrowBox and Overdrive e-audiobooks!
Each of these apps includes a timer option. Set the app to stop playing after 10 minutes, 30 minutes or the end of the chapter – then switch off the light, snuggle down and give your mind something to focus on as you let the day fade away, and drift off to sleep.
Revisit a calming classic, or set yourself up with something more exciting (and be prepared for adventurous dreams!)
Library patrons have free access to these 3 e-book and e-audiobook platforms, and here are tens of thousands of titles to choose from. Click here to find out how to access this service.
Looking for something new to distract your mind in between home-schooling the kids, walking the dogs, minding the chickens, uncluttering the house, and working from home?
Here are some new books to keep your reading muscle fit! Visit our catalogue here to place a hold on your preferred title. The print versions are available to borrow immediately, so get in quick!
