Carinya Lending Library
1. Why can't I borrow books that are on the shelves in the Carinya physical library?
Answer: The eBook collection is a separate collection of books that has been purchased from an eBook distributor. The collection will be added to over time and contains a mixture of books that are also in the print collection as well as others that are unique to the eBook collection.
2. Can I make suggestions for new titles?
Answer: Yes, you may contact the librarian to make suggestions. However, it must be remembered that not all published books are available to be purchased for digital lending. (Available titles are increasing daily). In addition, all purchases are made according to the Carinya Library book Acquisition Policy which is available from this website.

Answer: You may return a book at any time if you are finished with it. Remember to return it from your reading device before you delete it.
