Q. How do I return downloadable e-books and e-audiobooks?

All OverDrive and cloudLibrary titles are automatically returned to your library at the end of their lending periods, so you never have to worry about late fees. However you can return them early if you want.

Cloud Library

There are three ways to return Cloud Library titles.

• From the library's website/your library account -- log into your library account at (https://catalog.bcpl.lib.md.us/polaris/logon.aspx) click on Items Out and any Cloud Library titles should have a Check In button next to them, click Check In.
   
• From BCPL's Cloud Library website -- go to (https://ebook.yourcloudlibrary.com/library/BCPL/Featured) and log into your Cloud Library account.  Click the My Books tab.  Next to the title you wish to return, click the Check In button.
   
• From your mobile device -- open the CL app and log in, if prompted. Tap My Books. Tap the Return Books button; then a Return button should appear next to each title. Tap Return.

OverDrive

Generally you return OverDrive titles using the app or website you used to borrow the title.
