Audiobook changes

by

We have added a new audiobook category: “New & Popular Audiobooks.” They can be checked out for two weeks with one renewal. There is a ‘new’ sticker on the spine and they are shelved separately. All other audiobooks can be checked out for four weeks and have one renewal.

btw: this info is for physical audiobooks that are in our library. Our Overdrive collection of downloadable audiobooks default to a one-week checkout but you can manually change that to 14 days for a specific book before you check out or set your own personal default. After logging into the website go to “My Account” and then click on “Lending Periods” to set a personalized default of 14 days.

Please ask if you need help with this service.
