How long can I borrow digital materials from the library?

September 23, 2019

You never have to worry about fines because digital items automatically return on the due date. Here are the loan periods for each platform.

cloudLibrary

  • Borrowing period: 14 days for all materials
  • Renewals: If there are no holds on your item, you’ll have the option to renew it starting three days before the due date. Once renewed, you’ll have the item for another 14 days starting from the date you renewed it.

Hoopla

  • Borrowing period: 21 days for books/audiobooks/comics, 7 days for music, and 3 days for videos
  • Renewals: You’ll have the option to renew an item 24 hours before the due date. Once renewed, you’ll have the item for the loan period listed above, starting from the date you renew it.

Flipster

  • Borrowing period: Most magazines have unlimited loan periods. Due to publisher restrictions, some popular monthly magazines have a 7-day borrowing period, and some popular weekly magazines have a 2-day borrowing period. After borrowing a magazine, check the My Shelf section to see if your item has a due date.
