This borrowing model is known as the 'always-available' model. With 'Instant' titles, there are no waitlists, and cardholders can all borrow the same book at the same time. As a Beaufort County Library cardholder, you receive 8 instant borrows per month. Sure thing! Access to hoopla offers access to thousands of digital titles.
