E-books and Audio-books

It's really easy and free! (step-by-step)

Step 1. Students need to get their parent/guardians approval first! You'll need their help to sign up. 

Step 2. Have a quick read through the different membership options, as there are some differences between children's, teens and adult memberships.

Step 3. Head to the joining page and select your local library (the closest to Oasis Arena is Ashburton).

Step 4. Fill in the form with your parent/guardian and then press 'Create Account.' 

All done! You can now use your new membership number and the pin you set to access thousands of free books, e-books, audiobooks, comics, magazines and more!

Email Miss Le at yen.le@oasisarena.org if you have any questions​.
