ebooks, eaudiobooks, emagazines & enewspapers

We have local libraries throughout East Ayrshire and we offer a mobile library service and Homewords for those who can't visit in person.

But, don't forget, you can also access thousands of free eBooks and eAudiobooks, digital newspapers and magazines from the BorrowBox app.
Download the apps from the App Store or Google Play. We regularly update and add new titles so there’s often new titles and authors to discover.

BorrowBox and Kindles

Kindle Fire is the only model of Kindle that can access the BorrowBox service via the BorrowBox app.

To read BorrowBox eBooks on a Kindle Fire you will need to download the BorrowBox Kindle Fire app. This is now available on the Amazon Appstore and can be installed on Kindle Fire devices in the usual way. 

If you have a different type of Kindle that can browse the internet you can access BorrowBox on this website: https://eastayrshire.borrowbox.com/

BorrowBox and non-Kindle eReaders such as Kobo and Nook.

You will need to have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions in order to transfer your downloaded book to your eReader.

• Install Adobe Digital Editions on your computer
• Borrow a book on BorrowBox using the link https://eastayrshire.borrowbox.com/
• Download it, then open it in Adobe Digital Editions
• Connect your eReader to your computer and transfer the eBook to your eReader

Alternatively, Borrowbox can be accessed from your PC or laptop via our online catalogue - just sign in using your membership number. If you're not currently a library member, but would like to use this free service, drop into your local library for more information and get signed up!
