In Overdrive/Libby, materials can be checked out for 7, 14, or 21 days, depending on the settings you choose. Keep in mind that some titles will have set lending periods that cannot be changed. The default lending period is set to 7 days.

To adjust your default lending period in Overdrive, login with your 14-digit library card number and your PIN/Password. Your PIN/password is automatically set to be the four-digit year you were born (ex. 1975). Once logged in, go to My Account, then click on Settings. You will see Lending Periods for eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eMagazines. Set each of these to the desired lending period. Changes will be saved automatically.

In Libby, you will adjust your lending period when checking out an item. When you pick a new lending period, this will be set as your default until you pick another one.

You can view when a book is due by going to your Loans page on Overdrive/Libby.
