Notes about digital content:
- there are never any late charges
- access any time, anywhere internet is available
- digital items have limits the same as physical library items; once all copies of a given title are checked out, holds can be placed for those items
- each library card can borrow 20 items and hold another 15 items at once
- magazines are not compatible with ereaders
- user can choose lending periods of 7, 14 or 21 day
- checkout and download your books directly from the library catalogue. These checkouts and holds show up in your library account.
- ebooks and audiobooks can be used without downloading an app by either: read-in-browser button in downloadlibrary.com; or using Libby in your web browser at libbyapp.com
