Electronic books
HyRead e-Books (electronic books based on the count service every month)
Hsinchu City Library started the subscription of “HyRead e-Books” in 2014 (each electronic book can be browsed online or downloaded for offline loan on a PC).
Methods: You can start to use it by logging in with the library card number and password. For audible books, you must download the access instructions before you can use the functions of audible books.
Webpages offer online reading. “HyRead” APP can be downloaded and used on a mobile device. Select “Hsinchu City Library” from the upper right menu on the webpage, log in account number and password, and you can start to use it.
Instructions:
Each patron can borrow eight books from the collections in the Library each time, and the loan period is fourteen days. It can be renewed once five days before the due day. Patronss can reserve maximum five books.
Service by count- Each patron can borrow four books each month with a loan period of fourteen days.
From September 1, 2023, in cooperation with “Expansion of e-Book Access Service by Count” launched by Ministry of Culture, we updated access service instructions.
Service of access by count announced by Ministry of Culture:
Each patron can borrow ten books each time After returning the books, patrons can use the loan service again or use other services. The loan period is fourteen days.
If “the books borrowed” in the count-based service accumulate five books that are not opened to read (that is, a message of right suspension will be displayed when borrowing the sixth book), the right to the loan service will be suspended one month.
