Hello everyone. If like me you love reading and are looking for where to get your next book from then have a look at what the Cheshire Library Service are offering. 

I have been sent the following email from them and wanted to share it with you all. 

All of our buildings are currently closed but we are working hard behind the scenes to support you and the wider community during this time. All loans have been extended until the end of April so please do not try and return your items to us. There is also no need to renew any of your loans.

 To keep up to date with what’s going on and to keep in the loop with new interactive initiatives and activities that we’ve got planned, follow us on Facebook @cwaclibrary and Twitter @cwaclibraries.

 Join Online Spread the word - you can join the library online and access eBooks, audio downloads, eMagazines and our eResources* straight away without having to collect a library card.

Simply fill in the online joining form and then email libraries@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk confirming your name, date of birth and postcode, to receive a temporary card number and password.

 This temporary card will be initially valid for one year and can be exchanged for a physical card once libraries are back open.

 We’ve 1,000s of eBooks, audio downloads and eMagazines for you to borrow. If you can’t remember your PIN/password, please use our password reset feature. Alternatively, email libraries@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk for assistance.

 eBooks – Cloud Library

 We have been purchasing a lot of new eBook stock (for both adults and children) to keep up with fresh demand. These are free to library members.

 For ease of access, download the Cloud Library app via the App Store or Play Store and login with your library card number and PIN/password. The full collection is also available below.

 Audio downloads - RB Digital

 To access audio downloads, you must first register on the RB digital website, then select 'register' in the top right hand corner (this will be a figure head icon on mobile devices).

 If you have previously registered on OneClick Digital you do not need to re-register, as your app will automatically upgrade to the new enhanced RB digital app.

 For ease of access download the RB digital app via the App Store or Play Store. On first use you will be asked for your registration details.

 eMagazines – Magzter

 Cheshire Libraries offer a wide range of eMagazines, which are free to library members. To access these, you must first register on the Magzter website and then create a library user account.

 You can read magazines online in your web browser on your computer or laptop. Simply log in and choose the magazine you wish to read. Alternatively, if you can download the Magzter Library app via the App Store or Play Store, to store magazines on your device.

 Home schooling and distance learning resources

 To help with home schooling we’ve added a lot of useful resources (for all ages) to our eResources page, so that all the information you need is in one place.
