Holidaymakers from Merthyr Tydfil don’t have to worry about luggage restrictions cramping their reading habit this summer.

Merthyr Tydfil Library is reminding readers that they can download free e-books and e-zines from local libraries – as long as they are a member of any library in Wales.

There are more than 14,000 e-book titles available to download – including some Welsh language titles – from children’s fiction to travel guides, biographies and recipe books to thrillers and romance.

Jane Purdie, Welsh libraries marketing officer, said: “This is a brilliant way to take lots of books away on holiday for free and not worry about the weight or having room for your flip flops.

“Libraries are free to join and you can download up to 10 e-books to your e-reader, smartphone, tablet or laptop and you don’t need to remember to take the books back because it will automatically disappear at the end of the loan period.

“The e-books service even allows you to reserve an e-book if it is unavailable and you can be alerted via email as soon as the title becomes available. The service is 24/7, so great for those late-night readers who need a new book.”

Merthyr Tydfil libraries are also offering e-audiobooks to download onto a device before travelling abroad.
