Frequently Asked Questions
How many books can I check out? For how long?
At this time, each borrower can only check out 3 ebooks or audiobooks at a time. You can select either 7-, 14-, or 21-day checkout periods. You can always return a book early if you finish it before it is due. If there is no one waiting for the book to become available and you would like more time, you may also choose to extend your loan.
I’m interested in a book that’s not in your collection.
We plan to expand our collection as our funding allows. If you are interested in a particular title you can use the
Notify Me tag in Libby to let us know! The purchase of recommended titles will be considered based on its relevance, interest level, and the availability of funding.
