Borrow: Borrow is another word for check out. If a book is available to be checked out it will say 'borrow' under the title.
Place a Hold: If all the copies of an eBook are checked out you can place a hold on the title. When you place a hold you are addding yourself to the eBook's wait list.
Returning an eBook
Overdrive will give you the option to check out a book for 7 days or 14 days. At the end of the checkout period, the eBook will automatically be taken off your card and checked in-- you will not need to click on the 'return' button. Due to the automatic check-in, overdue fines will not accrue on eBooks.
