You never have to worry about overdue books or late fines—books are returned automatically. If you need more time, you can still renew them. You can borrow up to 10 books at a time! Plus, if you’re a member of a public library, you can access their collection too. Just click “Add Library” on the right side of the screen.

Guess what?
You can get a free Public Library card online! Once you have it, you can link it to SORA—so when you search for a book in SORA, it checks the public library collection too.
And there’s more! The Lethbridge Public Library has tons of fun stuff to do online. Go check it out!
