The WPLC Digital Library Steering Committee recently met and voted to change the maximum loan period for audiobooks to 21 days. Previously, the maximum loan period was 14 days. This is great news for those of us who listen to lots of audiobooks and sometimes needed two loan periods to finish a book.
There are two ways you can make this change. From the desktop version of Digital Library, sign in to your account and then select Settings from My Account. The first setting is your loan periods and you can select your default loan period of 7, 14, or 14 days for ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines or 3, 5, or 7 days for video. On the Libby app, you can change your loan period when you borrow a title. The loan period you select will now be your default loan period for future checkouts.
On another audiobook note, the Audiobook SYNC program is about halfway through the season. The program uses the Sora App (also by OverDrive) and recently some users noticed that the previous SYNC titles weren't accessible. To fix this, SYNC help says to log out of the Sora app and log in again. This should solve the problem (it did for me!). If it doesn't, the recommendation is to delete and reinstall the app.
Happy Listening!
