When I try to borrow something, I receive the error message "The library has reached its daily lending limit."
The library has a daily budget for Hoopla checkouts, and this message indicates that our budget is spent for the day. You will be able to borrow items again when the daily lending limit resets.

I just got a replacement library card and can't access my ebooks. What do I do?
If you are using OverDrive, please contact your library so that staff can merge your digital checkouts and holds with your new card number. If you are using Hoopla, you can go to Settings > Library Settings in your account to change your library card and PIN number.

Your library card may have expired or your fines may be over the $25 limit. Please call or visit any location for assistance.
