They can browse the latest new releases and bestsellers, including children’s and teenage fiction, popular biographies and cookery books from top chefs.

All this content can be downloaded through the free BorrowBox app on any Apple iOS and Google Android device.

The app features a dedicated eBook reader and eAudio player, making your library truly portable with free access to digital content 24 hours a day.

Readers just need to sign up online to become a Herefordshire Library member and then download the BorrowBox app from the App Store or Google Play.
