Listen up!

We've just got a new shipment of audio titles in, including the complete series of "Tomorrow, when the war began".  These are perfect for listening to on those long drives to visit the relatives on school holidays or to download to your i-pod so you can lie in the hammock outside in the warmth!

If you haven't already discovered it, we have a Free Download service at Bolinda e-books online.  Find the link on the left hand column of this page to sign up and try out the service.  It works very much like i-Tunes - you go browsing for a book, "loan" it out and download to your computer.  Unzip it and drag it to your i-Tunes folder and synchronise your i-pod and voila!  You're ready to go!

Portable libraries - they're the wave of the future.  Grab your board and start riding now!

We're back!

Our server has been re-established and access to our catalogue and Bolinda Digital books is all back up and running.  If you haven't checked out our FREE audio mp3 books online, then you're really missing out on something awesome!  Just click on the Bolinda Digital link on the left hand side of the page to see what's on offer.

There's the latest bestsellers in fiction, non-fiction hits such as The Accidental Billionaires (from which the movie "The Social Network" is based), self-help titles for relaxation and meditation, financial advice and political essays.  There's stuff for kids as well, with all the Twilight and Tomorrow when the war began series plus too many more to list!

When our server crashed, I received an email from a Bolinda Digital user who told me he spends 80,000 hours a year in his truck and our free audio mp3 service keeps him sane.  Poor guy was about as desperate as us to be back up and running again!

Bolinda Digital is here!

A great new service for Central Highlands residents starts today - Bolinda Digital!  This online service offers FREE downloads of popular fiction and non-fiction books for all the family to enjoy - in the comfort of their own home!

Not your regular library service!

Bolinda has spent 5 years perfecting the Digital Solution so that it is fast, simple and can be used across the broad range of applications - from that $9.95 MP3 player you picked up in the supermarket to the latest i-Pod touch.  It doesn't matter what you have or how you listen - this product can be used by you!

And the greatest of all is that you can browse the 'shelves' and select your downloads whenever and wherever it suits you. 

Visiting friends in far-off places? 
Just got home at midnight? 
Stuck out of town without transport?

Doesn't matter!  A library branch like no other, this service is tailor-made for the busy lifestyle. AND no overdue notices or fines; a guaranteed receival date on reservations and over 300 titles to choose from (with more to come!)

As long as you have internet access, an email address, your membership number and your pin, you can download + listen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

A great reason to join any one of CHRC's libraries and test it out today!
