How eBook Lending Works

eBooks work like regular library books. We have a copy of each book. When that copy is checked out, you may place a hold on it as you do for any library book. When it becomes available, you will be notified. When  a copy is available, add it to your cart, check it out and download the book.

You can choose either a 7 or 14 day lending period from the My Downloadable Book Account screen by clicking on Lending Periods.

eBooks automatically expire after the lending period. However, you may check them in early if you wish.

You may have 4 items out from Overdrive at any time. This includes eBooks and audio books.

How to search for titles that are currently available to check out.
