Free Books Online
The school library may be temporarily unavailable, but there are still plenty of places to find free reading material! Whether you're looking for ebooks, audiobooks or video picturebooks, there's plenty out there to choose from...
Overdrive
If you live in the West Midlands you are entitled to access free ebooks and audiobooks online using Overdrive.
If you don't have a Birmingham library card you can sign up for one online. Use your membership number from the front of the card to sign in and access the free ebook library.
Ebooks return themselves automatically, so there are never any fees or charges.
Epic
Epic is a free ebook lending library for kids. There are rewards for completing different reading challenges, so you can compete against your friends.
Epic does offer paid accounts, but it has a great selection of books and comics that you can enjoy using a basic free account.
World Book Day Audiobooks
To celebrate World Book Day authors have been releasing free audiobooks read by celebrities on the World Book Day website.
With non-fiction like the brand new biography of footballer Marcus Rashford and the Ladybird Guide to Mindfulness alongside a great selection of fiction there's something here for all ages and interests!
Oak Academy
Each week the Oak Academy website will provide one new ebook or audiobook aimed at primary school pupils.
Oak isn't allowed to host these books for longer than a week or show more than one book at once, so make sure you check back regularly to see what the latest title is!
