Online Community Library
Our Community Library is located on the ground floor of Devonshire House, but we’d also like to share here some ways you can access books and magazines online, provide some recommended reading lists for you, and share some blogs and perspectives from current students. This is also to overcome some of the challenges posed by physical books, where audiobooks and eBooks can accommodate easier reading for many. Happy reading!
External resources for books and audiobooks:
BorrowBox – this is an app you can access for free thanks to Libraries Unlimited. It requires a library card from Exeter City Library, or your local city library, so make sure you have this first. The app includes a wide selection of eBooks, audiobooks and online magazines and newspapers.
