DAY 7 E-BOOKS AND AUDIOBOOKS

Libby by Overdrive – https://meet.libbyapp.com/

No time to bring your children to the library? Travelling and having to lug all those heavy picture books to keep your child engaged in a long journey? Worried that your child is just using the iPad to watch videos?  Libby by Overdrive is the solution to your headaches – Let the library come to you!

Libby by Overdrive is a free app that can be downloaded from the App Store. Create an account or use your Singpass/NRIC/BC to access National Library Board (NLB) Singapore e-resources for free.

It works the same way as how you borrow books from the library – you can borrow the e-books or audiobooks for up to 21 days, do reservations and even extend your borrowing period from your device. Convenient huh?

Unsure if your child is interested in the book? You can also preview by reading or listening to a sample before borrowing the resource.
