A world of books at your fingertips

Since launching in 2011, over 1000 schools and libraries in 15 countries have chosen Wheelers ePlatform as their eBook lending partner.

In January 2016, West Island School joined with Sha Tin College, Renaissance College and Discovery College to create a Wheelers ePlatform consortium, essentially quadrupling the amount of ebooks we have access to via the Wheelers ePlatform.

How can you find the WIS Wheelers ePlatform?
