Never a late charge!

Books are downloaded; no internet required Use on as many devices as you wish After 21 days the image on your bookshelf is there, but the text/audio is gone. Renewals are easy; from the LOANS link on the LAPL page If no one is waiting you can renew immediately
 Your bookshelf image keeps track of remaining time. E-mail notifications alert you to holds being released. Don’t try to renew from the email; go to your Library App

You’ve got mail!

When a title you’ve reserved (on “hold”) is available, you’ll get a no-response email from the

• library. Go to your library link on your app’s menu.

One last idea . . . magazines!
