What is the loan period for e-books & e-audiobooks?
- 14 days
How do I return an e-book or e-audiobook
- See these instructions on how to return titles before they're due.
How do I renew an e-book or e-audiobook?
- A title may be renewed one time if it has not been requested by another borrower. Check out renewal instructions from OverDrive.
Why can't I find the title or author I want?
- Unfortunately, not all books and audiobooks are available electronically. In addition, some publishers have decided not to make their e-titles available to libraries. In any case, if you don't see the title you want at Bridges make a purchase request; we'll see if it's available for purchase and let you know if we decide to add it to Bridges.
