Libraries in Wrexham are due to close their Click and Collect service as part of the Welsh Government Circuit Break.
However as a library member you can still access and enjoy 1,000’s of books and audiobooks via uLibrary, BorrowBox and our online services portal.
uLibrary and BorrowBox – free e-books and e-audio books
If you’re struggling for something different to read during these unprecedented times, don’t worry, as Wrexham Library service currently has access to a fabulous catalogue of e-resources for both e-books and audio-books.
uLibrary can be downloaded onto Apple or Android phones and tablets-it can also be used on your computer.
BorrowBox, much like uLibrary is app based and can be used on Apple, Android and Kindle devices.
Both are chock-full of content and are designed to be easily navigable.
