Tips:
- Like physical books, e-books and audio books are unavailable when someone else has checked them out. Items that are immediately available have the “add to cart” link beside them. Items that are in use display the option to “place a hold”. An email will notify you when the item becomes available.
- You can limit your search to only items that are currently available, and also limit by format, to make it easier to find something to read right now.
- Your downloaded book will automatically expire at the end of the loan period, so you don't have to worry about returns.
