1. How do I get started with downloading eBooks to my device? 

All  you need to get started is an internet connection and a Magness Library card. Kindles and Nooks will first need to be registered  with Amazon or Barnes and Noble. All devices have separate instructions  for borrowing eBooks.  

2. How many books can I check out and how long can I keep them? 

You  can check out up to 15 titles. You can choose a checkout period of 7,  14, or 21 days. If you are a new OverDrive user, your lending periods  will default to 7 days. You can change your lending periods on My  Account under Settings. 

3. How do I return an eBook? 

All  titles are automatically returned at the end of their lending periods,  so you never have to worry about late fees. Once you download a title,  you may be able to return it using the software or app that you used to  download it. We have patron guides for specific devices available  above with return instructions toward the bottom of each guide. 

4. How do I renew an eBook? 

Renewing  digital titles works a little differently than renewing physical books  from the library. When you renew a digital title, it doesn't extend your  lending period. Instead, it lets you borrow the title again immediately  after your current checkout expires (if there are no existing holds) or  it places you on the wait list to borrow the title again as soon as  possible (if there are existing holds). You'll see the option to renew a  title three days before it's set to expire. A Request again button will  appear under the title on your Loans page. 

• In your library's digital collection, go to your Loans page. 
   
• If prompted, sign in. 
   

• Select the Request again button under the title you'd like to renew. 
   
• Enter  and confirm your email address in the pop-up window. In this window,  you'll also see if the title will be available for you to borrow again  immediately after your checkout expires.
