eBooks and eAudiobooks in YPRL’s OverDrive collection will move to a new shared consortium called Boobook Digital Library on Tuesday 8th October 2024.
Yarra Plenty Regional Library (YPRL) have entered into a partnership agreement with Your Library (YL) and Whitehorse Manningham Libraries (WML) to share our respective OverDrive eBook & eAudiobook collections.
All existing OverDrive/Libby users will need to log into the newly created consortium to continue using the collection with their library card number and password.
