 West Lothian Libraries are trying to engage children in particular to make use of the eBook service that we offer for free to all library members.  This is a service that encourages readers of all ages to pick up a book – in this case an electronic one.  Once users are registered, the eBooks can be downloaded 24/7 with internet connection so there is no reason to run out of reading material.  Additionally, once downloaded, books can be stored on a device for up to 21 days with no need for internet connection – so it is easy to plan in advance and take books away on short breaks, holidays or overnight stays.

eBook users need to be a member of the library to make use of this service but it is easy to join the library and enjoy all its benefits – to join, visithttps://westlothian.libraryebooks.co.uk/site/EB/ebooks/register.asp
