What's a good app for borrowing library books, both ebooks and audiobooks, without having to, you know, actually *go* to the library?

Oh, BorrowBox is just the ticket! It's like having a wonderfully organized library right on my iPad. So convenient!

Well, let me tell you, BorrowBox has been a delightful discovery! As a retired librarian, I still adore books, but sometimes getting to the library can be a bit of a bother, especially in winter. BorrowBox lets me borrow ebooks and audiobooks directly from my library's collection. The categorization system is quite impressive, actually – it's like having a card catalog in your pocket! I've figured out three new features this week alone. Who knew my iPad could do this? It's wonderfully organized, and I can easily manage my borrowed items. It’s particularly useful for those of us who aren’t as spry as we used to be. The ability to adjust the font size in ebooks is a godsend, I must say. I can even listen to audiobooks while I’m knitting! It’s free too, which is always a bonus, leaving me more money for yarn. Honestly, it’s quite impressive actually!
