Libby's Skip the Line collection are special copies of popular titles that we've set aside from the holds list so you can borrow them straight away. They work like our Bestseller Collection in our libraries, except they are in digital format and free! Titles in our Skip the Line Collection are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you find a Skip the Line title you can borrow it immediately but it does come with a few unique rules.
Skip the Line copies of titles
- Have a two-week loan
- Can't be renewed
- Have a limit of 1 at a time
