How to change your lending period for digital titles

Many libraries offer a range of lending period options for each format in their collection. You can adjust your default lending period for a whole format or, in many cases, choose a lending period for a specific title before borrowing it.

How to change your default lending period

Note: Your new lending period only applies to future checkouts, not titles already checked out.

1. In your library's digital collection, click or tap , then select Settings.
   You'll need to be signed into your library to get to this page.

   Note: Lending period options vary by library.

How to change the lending period for an individual title
