An even easier way to access ePlatform is to download the ePlaform App on any Smart device. Watch this video to see how easy it is: How to download the app and use

Audiobooks are a great alternative to music on walks or road trips.  Whilst downloading Audiobooks can use a lot of data, the ePlatform app allows you to preload books so you can listen data free when you’re out and about.  This video shows you how: Download audiobooks for offline reading

Our AV libraries, TV4Education and Clickview, have great movies for you to enjoy over the holidays.
