Can I return eBooks or eAudiobook titles early, before they expire?
Once you download a title you may be able to return it early in the Libby app .
Can I freeze or suspend a hold?
Yes, you can do so from your OverDrive account at Arlington Public Library's OverDrive Collection, or from the Libby app, as well as from your Library Account online or in the the Library App. Suspended holds still count toward your holds limit of 10.
Can I read an eBook with my computer browser?
You can do so at Arlington Public Library's OverDrive Collection.
Can I download an eBook to my eReader from a Library PC?
While you may browse our digital collections and borrow a title, you will not be able to download files to public PCs in the Library for transfer to an eReader. If your device allows wireless downloads (e.g. Kindle Fire, smartphones or tablets), you can use the Library's free Wireless to handle the download.
Why doesn't the Library have [desired title] in downloadable form?
The Library purchases popular downloadable books when the publishers license the rights for digital sale to libraries. Not all publishers do this. Not all digital titles are released simultaneously with the book. Publishers might not secure digital rights for previously published works or may not make them available for purchase. For this reason, the Library may not be able to buy all titles in a series.
Can I donate digital books to the Library?
The Library would love to accept digital format donations but due to licensing restrictions, most downloadables are not transferable--unlike hard copy versions. Please consider making a cash donation marked specifically for the purchase of additional downloadables to the "Friends of the Arlington Public Library." More information on donations
How do I read Digital Magazines?
Digital Magazines can be checked out and read via the Arlington Public Library's OverDrive Collection, or from the Libby app. Digital Magazines do not count towards your 10 eAudio/eBook checkout limit.
