Why is there a waitlist for the title I want in cloudLibrary?

August 19, 2019

Most publishers restrict library e-books and audiobooks so they mimic physical books. Each copy of an e-book or audiobook can be loaned to only one person at a time, just like a physical book.

While library staff monitor holds each week and strive to ensure there are no more than six holds for each copy of a digital book, we’re not always able to license additional copies.

Previous Post: Why does Flipster say that all copies of the magazine I want to borrow are in use?
