Changes to Myli’s Digital Resources

Hoopla will cease on Sunday 4th of May. Newsbank will follow on Monday 30th of  June.

We understand this change may be frustrating. Both resources have had declining or low usage and unfortunately, the cost of Hoopla was unpredictable and unsustainable. We’ve redirected this funding into BorrowBox, which offers a wide range of eBooks, eAudiobooks and ePress.

Additionally, Kanopy is a great alternative for movies, series, and documentaries. We’d love to help you explore these options!

There are a number of alternative resources for Hoopla, including: 

• BorrowBox, which offers a wide selection of reading and listening materials.
• uLibrary, which also offers a selection of e-audiobooks.
• Kanopy is available for movies, series and documentaries.

Many major newspapers are now available through BorrowBox including the Herald Sun, The Australian and The Age.

Local Newspaper content –

We are also working on adding more local newspapers, though this may take some time. If there’s a particular publication you’re looking for, please let us know and we’ll try to assist.
