General RBdigital Magazines Help:
Two questions:
1. what is the length of time an e-book is available once it’s been transferred to my Kindle?
2. Are e-books able to be renewed?
Thank you
Harriet,
1. eBooks are available for either 1, 2, or 3 weeks depending on the checkout length setting you have in your OverDrive account when you checked out your eBook.
2. eBooks can be renewed starting 3 days before they are due if no one else has the item on hold. For more information, see this help article: http://help.overdrive.com/customer/portal/articles/1481523-how-to-renew-digital-titles.

How do i find a certain author on overdrive. The new format is more confusing.
Hello Patricia,
At the upper right-hand side of the OverDrive website is an icon that looks like a magnifying glass. Click on that icon to bring up a search box to search by author, title, book series, narrator for audiobooks, etc…

How do I return books from my kindle after I read them before they are due back
Terry, this link shows you how to return Kindle items: https://help.overdrive.com/customer/portal/articles/1481651-how-to-return-a-kindle-book-borrowed-from-your-library.
Do any of the Warren libraries offer Mango languages on-line? If so, please instruct me regarding how to access the web-site.
Thank you.
Hello Ellen,
The Warren Public Library does not offer Mango Languages. We do have a similar language learning database called Pronunciator. You can access it from our database page here.

Hello Michael,
You established a PIN when you filled out your application for a library card. To get your PIN simply visit the circulation desk of any Warren Public Library location with your ID and library card. Staff can provide you with your PIN or can change it for you.

When I enter my Warren zip code on Freegal, it only gives me an Air Force & a Navy library to choose from…not WPL?!
