Loan Periods and Fees

How long can materials be borrowed?
Most materials, including books and CDs, can be borrowed for one three-week period and may be renewed for up to four additional three-week periods if no one is waiting for them. Items requested by another customer cannot be renewed. Video games check out for seven days and may be renewed up to four times. DVDs check out for seven days, except for multi-disc sets, which have a three-week loan period, and the Lied Bookmobile’s collection, which has a four week loan period. Binge Boxes have a three-week loan period with four renewals.

Downloadable audiobooks and eBooks from OverDrive/Libby check out for seven, fourteen, or twenty-one days. Loan periods for content from hoopla varies depending on the type of media. Loan periods for items borrowed from other library systems through our Interlibrary Loan service are determined by the lending library system. A few other specialized materials have different loan periods.
