Ellibs Library

A comprehensive service for libraries

The Ellibs Library is a turnkey solution for libraries that want to include e-books and audiobooks in their collections. The service covers the deployment of the platform, handling your collection's technical management, maintaining the necessary borrowing technology, and monitoring how your collection is used.

Libraries serve people of all ages and varied linguistic and cultural backgrounds, helping them discover the literature they need. We believe that libraries should offer accessible and easy-to-use materials that cater to an extensive range of readers alongside traditional, printed books.

With the Ellibs Library service, libraries can easily and flexibly provide their visitors with a wide variety of e-materials that can be acquired through our online store. The benefit of e-materials is that they are automatically returned at the end of the borrowing period, meaning that your borrowers will never have to worry about any late fees.

Access your materials anytime, anywhere

Our e-books can be read with a reading app on your computer or though the Ellibs App on your mobile device. The majority of our selection is also available directly via the web browser on your computer or mobile device. This gives your readers more room to decide how they want to enjoy the books they borrow.

A tailored collection

When you purchase the licences to the content you need from our online store, they are instantly added to your collection. You can also directly link your purchases to your library’s catalogue search, to allow your visitors to easily find what they are looking for.

Seamless logins

Logging in to the service is as simple as using your library card. Our login integrations are compatible with the most widely used library management systems.
