Homebound library customers are reminded that Sno-Isle Libraries provides 24/7 virtual library service through its website. This service enables library customers to browse for books, CDs, DVDs and other materials online and place them on hold for later check-out. In addition, the website enables customers to renew their materials online (in most cases) to avoid overdue notices, as well as download digital materials, including music, for their enjoyment during their weather-caused time off at home.
