Returning eBooks on Overdrive
Unlike physical library materials like books and CDs, digital materials don't have to be returned, you just lose access to the title after the loan term expires. However, if you're a quick reader and feeling compassionate toward others who are sitting on that long wait list, returning your item early is a great option. It's also a way to free up space on your account.
"I know where the book drop is at the library, but how the heck do you return ebooks?" We have heard your plaintive cry, and have created a one-stop guide for returning ebooks and eaudiobooks on all your devices. Courtesy of MARINet Digital Resources Working Group
