indyreads
The indyreads platform offers NSW public libraries and their communities access to a diverse collection of ebooks and eaudiobooks, featuring a wide range of quality Australian and international independently published works.
The statewide collection aims to provide a broad range of titles beyond the bestsellers that typically form the core of public library digital collections.
The indyreads platform also provides the technical infrastructure and legal framework to allow public libraries to operate as aggregators of locally important content, helping to assist libraries in building digital collections that reflect the diversity and vibrancy of their local communities.
indyreads is provided free to NSW public libraries by the State Library of NSW.
