Library Service members can borrow up to 20 eBooks at a time from RB Digital and read them on their computer, smartphone, tablet or eReader.
Most titles have unlimited availability with no waiting lists, although a few titles may need to be reserved if they are already on loan. You will receive an email once your reservation is available.
You can renew eBooks if they have not been reserved. Loans expire automatically after 21 days, so there are no late charges.
