Please note: 

From 1 July 2026, Hoopla and uLibrary will no longer be available through Burwood Library. Following a review of community feedback and digital collection usage, we are focusing our investment on Libby and BorrowBox, the platforms our members use most. This change will allow us to add more copies of popular eBooks and audiobooks, reduce wait times, and improve access to new releases and bestselling titles.

If you currently use Hoopla or uLibrary, our team is happy to help you get started with Libby or BorrowBox.
