Loans

Library members can borrow up to 5 eBooks or audiobook at a time. The default loan period is 14 days but you can change it to 7 or 21 days.

Renewals

Titles cannot be renewed, but you can check them out again if they are available when the checkout period ends.

Reservations

You can place up to 5 titles on hold at a time. When a hold becomes available for you, you have the option to borrow it or have it delivered later. The “deliver later” option keeps you at the front of the wait list but passes that copy of the title to the next person in line.

Returns

When the loan period has expired, the eBook or audiobook will return itself. We encourage you to return your titles before the loan period expires so other Library members can borrow them.

Late Fees

There are no late fees. When the loan period has expired, the eBook or audiobook will return itself.
