The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Between life and death there is a library. When Nora Seed finds herself in the Midnight Library, she has a chance to make things right. Up until now, her life has been full of misery and regret. She feels she has let everyone down, including herself. But things are about to change. The books in the Midnight Library enable Nora to live as if she had done things differently. With the help of an old friend, she can now undo every one of her regrets as she tries to work out her perfect life. But things aren't always what she imagined they'd be, and soon her choices place the library and herself in extreme danger. Before time runs out, she must answer the ultimate question; what is the best way to live?

Introducing Libby
Our e-books and audiobooks which were previously available through RBdigital have now moved to a new service, Libby. Libby is attractive and easy to use, and you'll find the same great choice of titles on e-book and audiobook to request and borrow.
Libby is also where you'll find our digital magazines, and you'll now find a much larger selection of magazines available to borrow. As well as all the magazines that we had on RBdigital you'll find hundreds more, including titles like The Economist, British Vogue and The Week. They're all available to borrow straight away and, like our e-books and audiobooks, loaned for three weeks.
Download the Libby app for Android and iOS, look for Central Bedfordshire Libraries, and login with your library card number and PIN. Tap on 'shelf' to see your loans and requests, and tap on 'library' to browse new and popular titles. If you want to find a particular title tap on 'search' at the top of the library page. You can narrow down your browsing, and choose between e-books, audiobooks and magazines, with 'preferences'. See what's new and popular or find a specific subject with 'explore'. Don't forget that you can still find audiobooks on our complementary service, BorrowBox.
Find more information on Libby on our virtual library. If you need a helping hand contact us, and we'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
