Libraries with Large Audiobook Collections

the frost on 12/11/2021 - 09:15

Hi all,

I have a membership with my local library and one with Newcastle (NSW), and have noticed that their collections for BorrowBox and Libby apps in their audiobooks are quite different, with Newcastle having a number of books that my local one does not. Does anyone know of a library that has a really large collection for borrowing?

Cheers.

    I have been looking for libraries that let residents from other LGAs join and borrow online.

    City of Sydney use BorrowBox, and anyone in NSW can join. No idea to tell you the size of the collection.
    City of Ryde use Libby, and lets people from other LGAs join the library but restrict borrowing to physical books, no ebooks or audiobooks.

    Does Newcastle let you join and borrow audiobooks without an address in Newcastle?

      Yes. I'm in Victoria and was able to join with my regular address!

    Sorry to hijack this, but has anyone used their Libby act while traveling overseas?

      Yes I have, in Bali a few years ago.
