23. General Information
You may check out up to 6 eBooks per library card.
Because eBooks are returned automatically at the end of the loan
period, it is impossible to accrue overdue fines.
eBooks not owned by Waukegan Public Library cannot be
obtained through interlibrary loan. You may suggest an eBook
purchase on the library’s website, or speak with a librarian.
Only patrons with Waukegan Public Library cards may download
eBooks.
If the title you want is checked out, you may place a hold on it,
just like a physical library book.
eBooks have a limit of one renewal per title.
24. Enjoy your eBook!
If you have any questions, please contact us for a one-
