BorrowBox updates

Published 14th January 2026
Updates required to keep you connected

From 14 January, a small change is required to allow BorrowBox eBooks and eAudiobooks to appear in the main library catalogue, while still keeping ePress as a local PAE collection.

What you need to do

If you use the BorrowBox app, please follow the steps below:

  1. Make sure your BorrowBox app is up to date
    (Check the App Store or Google Play and install any available updates.)
  2. Log out of the BorrowBox app
  3. Log back in
  4. Add an additional account

How to add the additional account

  1. Tap the account icon (the little person in the top right corner)
  2. You will see your PAE account – leave this as it is
  3. Tap Add Account
  4. Select Library
  5. Search for LibrariesSA and select it
  6. Log in using your existing library membership details

How it works after that

  • Select your PAE account to access ePress (local magazines and newspapers)
  • Select your LibrariesSA account to access:
    • eBooks
    • eAudiobooks
    • Your loans and holds

You can switch between accounts in the app at any time.

Using BorrowBox on the web?

  • Access the LibrariesSA collection via the library catalogue or at librariessa.borrowbox.com
  • ePress access will remain the same as it is now
