Patrons will be able to select a lending period of one, two, or three weeks, which begins at the date of checkout.

Interested patrons will be able borrow Shakespeare Saved My Life using a valid library card, and read on all major computers and devices, including iPhone®, iPad®, Nook®, Android™ phones and tablets, and Kindle® without worrying about wait lists or holds. Titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and best of all, there are no late fees! Need help using your library card to check out this title, or other eBooks, audio books or music from Listen Alaska?
