e-Press Goes Live on BorrowBox for Hindmarsh
Published on 12 December 2025
Extra, extra - read all about it! Hindmarsh Shire Libraries is excited to announce the arrival of “e-Press” to its BorrowBox platform.
BorrowBox is fast becoming one of the most popular resources that Hindmarsh Shire Libraries has on offer. With everything from e-Audiobooks to e-Books and more recently the inclusion of ‘read-along’ digital books, and now the inclusion of e-Press, there is something for everyone.
e-Press is curated collection of online, digital newspapers and magazines. Featuring popular titles such as Country Style, Homespun, Money Magazine and Vacations & Travel in magazines, The Age, The Weekly Times, Herald Sun and Sunday Age in newsprint, and possibly the most popular title ever to hit e-Press - “The Bluey Magazine”, especially for kids or for those young at heart.
With each issue being available usually before the physical version, e-Press is a great way to stay on top of current affairs, news and to stay informed - some previous editions can also be accessed online.
Using the BorrowBox platform to access online resources means users can keep reading or listening to all their favourite titles, authors, news media and stories, even when the libraries are closed. This is especially great timing with the approach of the Christmas and New Year period. Even though Hindmarsh Shire library branches will be closed for a few days, online resources never stop being available.
Having e-Press as part of the collection is currently on a trial basis - if it isn’t utilised, access may not continue, so if you haven’t yet tried BorrowBox - now is a great time. This platform is FREE to access with your Hindmarsh Shire Libraries membership. Signing up for a library membership is also free and any of the amazing library team members can help arrange your membership and get you set up on the BorrowBox app. Pop into your local branch to arrange your new membership and BorrowBox access.
