From the most popular reads to new unlimited use titles, here is an update on our digital library.

What's topping the charts?

Topping the lists for eAudio over the past couple of months is The Ex by Nicola Moriarty and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling, in BorrowBox and Overdrive respectively. Many of you are also loving All the missing girls by Megan Miranda and Becoming by Michelle Obama. 

The most loaned eBook in BorrowBox has been The Mother-In-Law by Sally Hepworth, with over 150 loans in the past two months. Topping the eBook loan chart in Overdrive is The Good Turn by Dervla McTiernan, the third novel in the Cormac Reilly Series.
