Frequently Asked Questions
How are loan window deadlines calculated?
Each channel has a hard loan ceiling: 21 days for Libby/Hoopla, 14 days for physical library books, and 90 days for seasonal Kindle Unlimited promo deals. If your daily reading speed means a book requires more days than the loan window allows, this planner marks it in red.
What if a popular book has a long waitlist on Libby?
Sequence waitlist titles as future items and pair them with immediate-borrow options like Hoopla or Project Gutenberg public domain editions while you wait for your hold to land.
