e-Lending Library

Choose from a huge selection of eBooks, audiobooks, the latest magazines and today's newspapers all available instantly with your Vale of Glamorgan libraries membership.

eBooks

Borrowing an eBook is just like borrowing a real book from the library. Items are loaned for a set period after which they are returned automatically. You also have the option to return early or to extend your loan if you need more time. We currently offer two services which each provide access to thousands of eBooks; BorrowBox and Libby. See below for a full list of ways you can access these apps.
