Basic information about library's ebook services missing.

It is the library that must define what "expire," "return," and other, possibly metaphorical, terms mean in relation to ebooks. Certainly the Overdrive and Kindle apps do not explain these terms, and it is likely that library patron will expect penalties if they do not perform the "return" of an ebook. I don't think there is an answer on your site.

website confusion

What happened to your website? I haven't checked out a book for my Nook for several months and decided to get a couple books for a trip. Went on your site and can't figure out how in the world to navigate it! What was wrong with the old format? I could get in and browse for books by a certain author or a certain genre and it made perfect sense. This new "system" has me totally confused and discouraged.

Confusing and non-helpful

I ran across the book "Dodger" by Terry Pratchet. Your catalog said it was available as an ebook. It provided no other information. You have many e-book options, none of which provided me with an ability to locate the book, let alone read it. I have given up and reserved the hardcopy.

Please add some clarity to your site; as it is, you have a cornucopia of impedimentia to using the e-book program.

Hi there. If you do a search

Hi there. If you do a search in the Catalog for "Dodger" and click on the eBook version, you can then click on "Click here to access this eTitle" where it says 'Electronic Access' in orange. Hope this helps!
