September 2023
A change is coming for our eBook readers and listeners at the end of September: Axis 360 will become Boundless!
The Axis 360 app and platform will be soon replaced by a new app called Boundless. Get ready for a new-and-improved digital reading and listening experience!
What does this mean for me?
No action is required of you until on or after the transition takes place on September 26-27, 2023. You won't be able to access materials on Boundless until after this date.
Good news — All of your user info and history, including holds position, bookmarks, notes, and other saved data will still be available to you.
How can I make a smooth transition?
Axis 360 website users
Between September 26-27, the Axis 360 website will automatically redirect to the new Boundless site. You will also be directly notified about the transition through the Axis 360 website.
Axis360 app users
Be sure to update to the latest version of the Axis 360 app on your devices. You will be directly notified about the transition through the Axis 360 app. Once the transition takes place, you will see an announcement page with a link to download the new Boundless app from your App Store. Boundless will be available on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Amazon.
If you have already installed the Boundless app, the link will open the Boundless app on your device and prompt you to log in to your account. The Boundless app is supported in iOS 13 and above, and Android 9 and above. If you have an earlier OS version, you will need to upgrade your mobile operating system to a supported version.
Do I log in to Boundless with my Axis 360 credentials?
Yes. Use “Find My Library” in the Boundless app to identify your library, then fill in the required fields. Addison Public Library will be listed in “Find My Library” once Axis 360 moves to Boundless.
Note: You will need your library card number and PIN to log in. If you need help with your login credentials, please contact us at 630.543.3320.
Will the Axis 360 website also change to Boundless?
Yes. Navigating to the old Axis 360 URL will automatically redirect you to the new Boundless website. After logging in, you will see all your account activity.
Will Axis 360 continue to be available after the launch of Boundless?
No. After September 26-27, you will no longer be able to read or listen to materials on Axis 360. You must use the Boundless app and/or website to access your account.
